in accidental airbag deployment.
1. Position the instrument cluster to the instrument panel.
2. Reconnect the wire harness connector (2) to the receptacle on the back of the cluster rear cover (1).
3. Align the instrument cluster (2) with the instrument panel opening.
4. Press firmly and evenly on the face of the instrument cluster over the two integral latches (3) until both latches are fully engaged.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
CAUTION: If an ineffective and unresponsive Instrument Cluster (IC) has been replaced with a new unit, the new IC must be initialized
and configured for certain optional equipment on the vehicle using a cluster programming procedure. Failure to correctly perform this
programming procedure (also referred to as parameterization) prior to the IC being electronically locked down will result in the IC being
incorrectly and irreversibly configured for improper vehicle equipment options, which will require the IC be replaced again with another new and
unused unit to resolve.
Instrument Panel Cluster Bezel - Removal
REMOVAL
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, seat belt
tensioner, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two
minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the
airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury.
1. Using a trim stick C-4755 or equivalent, separate the clips and remove the center bezel.
2. Remove the screws (2) and remove the air outlet covers (1) from the instrument panel center section.
