Hello! I have a question regarding the instrument cluster. There is some dust and dirt that got behind the glass on my instruments. The car is a st162 of course, but i can´t get it off? I removed all of the bolts, but it is stuck. Anyone got a guide or anyone that can explain how to do it properly? Thanks! /Mårten
If you removed them all, including the smaller ones on the back it's just stuck due to years of not moving it. Try if there is a loose corner and start there.
I think i removed them all, but i don't know. I really think something is holding it in, because it is loose on top, but the bottom is stuck?
Okey, can you please make a picture or something. I will try this weekend again, hopefully it will come off...
If you took out all of the screws, including the 4 that hold the cluster in- it is probably stuck on the speedo cable. There is a tab that is I remember correctly, you press in, and it releases. If it wiggles, but won't come out- that's it.
theres also 2 underneath that you have to take the under molding of, then theres the 1 behind each switch on the sides f the console.
Hmm, never thought about the speedo cable. Maybe its that? Just reach behind and grab it i suppose? Okay, hmm the two one the sides i got. Behind the buttons right? 2 underneath i really don't remember if i got, but as i said going to try again this weekend. Thanks for the tips
I guarantee that a picture of my hazard & defrost switch will NOT help you But since you asked, here's a picture of the hazard & defrost buttons.
Now that I got that out of the way, here's a ST162. Grab the switches in the yellow boxes. Pull straight out and unplug the connectors. There is 1 screw behind each switch. Remove the screws that are in the trim that the yellow arrows point to. Once the trim is out of the way there are 3 or 4 more screws/bolts that hold the cluster on. Remove these and give it a firm tug. Once it's out, unplug all connectors (I think there's 2 or 3).
Haha! No the picture of your defroster and hazard was not very helpful The other pic, and explanation was on the other hand very helpful! Perfect now i have some help, thanks!
Success! I removed the instrument housing today all the dirt is out! The problem was the two screws that i missed were under the panel that is just below the steering wheel. Thanks for the tips! Skickas från min iPhone via Tapatalk
