Gauge Panel

Hi Guys,

My fuel switch and wait to start cluster both popped out of my panel and are dangling there. I've never had that off before to inspect. Do I need a new panel to hook those switches to, or do they have clips on the back side to re-mount it?

Lightbulb Superglue

On the " Wait to Start " cluster

There are (2) small phillips screws that hold it to the dash face,
probably both are broken, I popped my dash out and super glued
the broken tabs back and carefully screwed them back in.

I've seen guys carefully superglue the panel back to the dash bezel too. That's a pretty frequent failure. It's not hard to get the dash off, just be aware that you have to pop off the two horizontal trim pieces in the black part of the dash bezel and there are 2 screws under there to take the bezel loose.

okay - I will take a look at it tonight to see if I can get that off and glue it back together. I'm suspecting that perhaps it was glued when I bought it. They came off pretty easy.

Is it only the two screws that hold that in there?
