Do I need to remove CD player and climate control unit to take the dash out? If so how? Particularly the CD player..

Thanks ozh!

What car?

It is easier with the CD out but you can remove the dash part of the way, then unhook the dash loom (which includes the climate control), then complete the removal.

Most importantly, remove the steering wheel and indicator assembly, as well as the cluster.

That leaves the central area still plugged in. When you pull the dash forward, reach behind the stereo and push it out.

Then you should be able to pull the dash out far enough to disconnect the two plugs in the climate control module.

The only thing then is to make sure you have pulled all the central area wiring back through the cluster area (the wiring will be held in place in several areas by plastic clips).

You might have to remove the fusebox and all the plugs in it as one set of wires goes up through the cluster area (mentioned above)

Thanks Peter,

Ive already done everything minus the middle section
the steering wheel is basically on the floor at the moment and when i tried to lift the dash out it seems to want to come but i do know i have yet to unplug the cd player and climate control
i did attempt to give it a little push from the back but didnt want to force anything.


Ill give what you said a shot!

thanks.

Have you removed the large vent on the dash because there is a bolt behind that (in the centre).

two butter knives, wedge them between the cd player and the "cage" that it clips into
There's also a bolt hiding under there that has to be undone (green arrow)
