I am replacing the gauge lights but i can not get the power/comfort switch off. It is a 92SE Auto. I felt around and it seems to lead to a small shaft. I can not take it out w/ a simple flathead as said on Craig B's Page. Help please!!

 

try harder.

 

Are you suggesting that I try to rip out the dash cover/panel. Cuz if you are, I will

 

this is a job that any 14 year old could do

I think he's trying to say that you actually do just pop it out with a small flathead screwdriver just like the page states

get a small one and work your way under the bottom edge of it, then when you get a little bit up, grab it and pull it all the way out. There will be 2 connectors to it that you can unplug by pushing a small tab on each

good luck

 

Mostly everthing in the interior of the car snaps in place, retaining itself.

 

curiosity, why are you taking the P/C switch out if youre replacing the gauge lights?

 

you have to get that out in order to get the whole center radio/climate control trim piece out in order to get the upper dash gauge surround piece out in order to get the gauge cluster out in order to get to the back of it in order to change the bulbs

duh

 

ive only gone as far as taking out the trim piece around the deck/climate control ive never switched my gauge lights i like the stock lights

...besides its easier to get that dash piece out first then the hazard, P/C switch, and lighter

 

Actually, if you pull the trim panel out from the top, then you don't have to remove the P/C switch to get it out. just unplug it from behind.
it's just a little more difficult to get your fingers under the panel to pull it loose.

 

Ok.....Craig: Well, I'm not 14 am I??

 

wow, the irony

I had no idea that you were only 13 when I posted that

also, when you're 14, you'll learn about sarcasm too


Matt,Maximan190: yeah, you can take it out without first removing the P/C switch, but I think it makes it easier to pull out that way; either way works

wow, look at all the VEs VE POWER!! (get out of here Jaybird, you're ruining a VE thread)

 

VEs unite

 

all you have to do is disconnect the hazards, and you have enough room to get the upper piece w/ the vents out. no need to worry about the p/c switch.

 

I just layed the entire center piece of to the passenger side with it still attached, I you wanted you could remove it, but like others have said just try a little bit harder, it is a very stubborn piece to remove, but if all your doing is your gauges then just roll it of to the passenger side, if your painting or modifing that center piece, its obvisouly easier to work with out of the car than in.
either way good luck.

 

ooh, ooh, i have a ve...can i join the club??? anyhoo, yeah, disconnect from the back or lay it to the side, i just go w/ the others, no uniqueness for me
