Disassembly - Instrument Cluster: Notes

Some of the components for the instrument cluster used in this vehicle are serviced individually. The serviced components include: the incandescent instrument cluster indicator and illumination lamp bulbs (including the integral bulb holders), the cluster lens, the trip odometer reset button boot, the cluster hood and mask unit, and the cluster housing rear cover. Following are the procedures for disassembling these components from the instrument cluster unit.
