A few months ago the left side cover for the warning lights in my instrument panel came loose and I need to move it back into position. Whenever the brights are switched on there is an unbearable light omitted. How exactly can I get in there and move it back? Any help is much appreciated.

If I understand you correctly, you may not need to remove the cluster. Instead remove the plastic cover under the steering wheel. Two or three phillips screws and the air louver on the side of the transmission tunnel (rotate black plastic fastener). Reach up and adjust that piece.

Thanks guys, I figured I would just have to remove the bottom plastic panel. I try it out this weekend and let you all know how it goes.

I have the same problem with my instrumental panel like "djlien16" but I not quite understand how to remove this plastic in front of the instrumental panel, so please can you be more specific, thanks in advance!

What I was referring to is the panel on the bottom of the dash under the steering column. If you remove it, you can reach up from below. If the little piece of plastic in the lower left corner of the instrument cluster has slipped (you can see white light) you can slide in back in place.

Hope that helps some.

You can remove the whole instrument console by pulling it with like a coat hanger you have to use some strenght, I just have taken mine out and have send it to the United Kingdom to have it repaired as the Clock,mileage and the temperature lights went out.

The bulbs in the back of the cluster are user replaceable. Just match bulb base color to get right wattage.
