receptacles on the back of the cluster housing. Do
not pull on the instrument cluster by the lens
or mask sections, or the cluster components
may become separated.
(5) Remove the instrument cluster from the instru-
ment panel.
INSTALLATION

REMOVAL
CLUSTER BULB
This procedure applies to each of the incandescent
cluster illumination lamp or indicator lamp bulb and
bulb holder units. However, the illumination lamps
and the indicator lamps use different bulb and bulb
holder unit sizes. They must never be interchanged.
Be certain that any bulb and bulb holder unit
removed from the cluster electronic circuit board is
reinstalled in the correct position. Always use the
correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incor-
rect bulb size or type may overheat and cause dam-
age to the instrument cluster, the electronic circuit
board and/or the gauges.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the instrument cluster from the instru-
ment panel. Refer to Instrument Cluster in the
Removal and Installation section of this group for the
procedures.
