Removal Procedure
- Remove the I/P cluster. Refer to Instrument Cluster Replacement .
- Place an anti-static mat on the work area. In order to ground the mat, connect the alligator clip to a large metal object. Verify that the attaching point is a bare metal surface and not painted or coated. Secure the wrist strap around one of your wrists.
- Place a clean, dry, soft material such as a cloth baby diaper on top of the anti-static mat.
- Place the I/P cluster assembly face down on the cloth and the anti-static mat.
- Disengage clip #1 with one hand while separating the assembly from the housing with the other hand.
- Repeat this procedure for clips #2 through #7.
- Place the lens/mask assembly in a clean area.
Notice: Failure to use the anti-static mat SA9502Z properly may result in damage to the cluster electronics.
Notice: Do not touch or bump the pointers of the gages. If a pointer is moved from its position, the calibration of the gage will be affected and the gage will no longer be accurate. If a pointer is moved, the cluster assembly will need to be replaced.
Important: If the lens/mask gets dirty, clean the lens by following the procedure in the Owner's Handbook. If a dial face gets dirty, clean the face with glass cleaner and a lint-free rag.
Important: Rubber gloves should be worn during these procedures to prevent grease, smudges, scratches, and fingerprints. If rubber gloves are not available, clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Important: Do not touch the inside of the lens.
Installation Procedure
- Hold the lens/mask assembly face up by the ends and align the reset knob with the hole in the lens.
- Align the tabs and the slots between the assembly and the housing.
- Press down on top of the assembly around the edges to fully seat all clips.
- Inspect that all gages and clips are seated correctly and that no debris or markings are on the lens or the dial faces.
- Install the I/P cluster assembly. Refer to Instrument Cluster Replacement .
