Instrument Panel Assembly

Instrument Panel:

INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY

DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the dash gauges and indicator lamps is to keep the driver informed about the operating condition of the vehicle. If an abnormal condition occurs, the driver is informed by indicator lamp. The driver can seek service before damage occurs.

Indicator lamps use ON/OFF switch functions for operation, while gauges use a sending unit or sensor.

The Instrument Panel can be removed as an assembly after a few part are removed to allow access to the retaining bolts. There is one self-aligning bulkhead connector on the left underside of the instrument panel replacing most of the main harness connectors. Once removed, the instrument panel can be serviced for replacement. Most of the parts of the instrument panel can be replaced individually without removing the complete instrument panel assembly.
