INSTALLATION
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.
CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and
type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type
may overheat and cause damage to the instrument
cluster, the electronic circuit board and/or the
gauges.
(1) Insert the bulb and bulb holder unit straight
into the correct bulb mounting hole in the cluster
electronic circuit board.
(2) With the bulb holder fully seated against the
cluster electronic circuit board, turn the bulb holder
clockwise about sixty degrees to lock it into place.
(3) Install the instrument cluster onto the instru-
ment panel. Refer to Instrument Cluster in the
Removal and Installation section of this group for the
procedures.
(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
CLUSTER LENS
(1) Align the cluster lens with the cluster hood and
mask unit.
(2) Press firmly and evenly on the cluster lens to
install it onto the cluster housing.
(3) Work around the perimeter of the cluster hous-
ing to be certain that each of the latches that secure
the cluster lens to the cluster housing is fully
engaged.
(4) Install the instrument cluster onto the instru-
ment panel. Refer to Instrument Cluster in the
Removal and Installation section of this group for the
procedures.
(5) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
ODOMETER RESET KNOB BOOT
(1) Position the odometer reset knob to the mount-
ing hole from the back of the cluster lens.
(2) Pull the odometer reset knob into the mounting
hole from the face of the cluster lens.
(3) Install the cluster lens onto the cluster hous-
ing. Refer to Instrument Cluster Components -
Cluster Lens in the Removal and Installation sec-
tion of this group for the procedures.
(4) Install the instrument cluster onto the instru-
ment panel. Refer to Instrument Cluster in the
Removal and Installation section of this group for the
procedures.
(5) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
CLUSTER HOOD AND MASK
(1) Align the hood and mask unit with the cluster
housing.
(2) Press firmly and evenly on the hood and mask
unit to install it onto the cluster housing.
(3) Work around the perimeter of the cluster hous-
ing to be certain that each of the latches that secure
the hood and mask unit to the cluster housing is
fully engaged.
