Instrument Cluster - Assembly

ASSEMBLY

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

NOTE: Some of the components for the instrument cluster used in this vehicle are serviced individually. The serviced components include the cluster lens and the cluster hood and mask unit. Following are the procedures for assembling these components onto the instrument cluster.

CLUSTER LENS





1. Position the cluster lens (3) over the face of the cluster hood and mask unit (2). Be certain that the odometer/trip odometer switch and reconfigurable display switch push buttons (4) are inserted through the proper clearance holes in the lens.
2. Working around the perimeter of the cluster, press the lens over the face of the hood and mask until each of the nine integral latch features is fully engaged in the receptacles of the hood and mask or the cluster housing (1).
3. Reinstall the instrument cluster onto the instrument panel. Instrument Cluster - Installation.
4. Reconnect the battery negative cable.

CLUSTER HOOD AND MASK





1. Position the cluster hood and mask unit (2) over the face of the cluster housing (1). Be certain that the odometer/trip odometer switch and reconfigurable display switch push buttons (4) are inserted through the proper clearance holes in the mask.
2. Working around the perimeter of the cluster, press the hood and mask over the face of the cluster housing until each of the six integral latch features is fully engaged in the receptacles of the housing.
3. Reinstall the cluster lens (3) onto the face of the cluster hood and mask unit.
4. Reinstall the instrument cluster onto the instrument panel. Instrument Cluster - Installation.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
