Dash light bulbs
Im sure that this has been addressed before, but I cant find it in search. How does one access the turn signal bulbs to change them. I have the dash pad off already and the gauge bezel is loose but still on due to the wiper and headlight *****.

Of course you need to pull the *****.
Go out and pull the battery cable off.
Pull the headlight switch **** all the way out. Then reach under the dash and feel around the switch, the side opposite the wiring plug has a little button on it. Push this button down, and then pull the **** and the shaft out.
For the wiper switch **** it's a little more difficult. Make some sort of tool and get in there and push on the little piece of metal to release the ****. Here's a picture.
You will then need to pull the cluster gently out as far as you can, then reach in behind and push sideways on the white plastic thing at the speedo cable end to release it from the speedo. You can then pull it on out till the wires stop you.

Got everything apart. Got all the bulbs out, now to go get new ones. One more question, the right side gas gauge and the others is not illuminated is there a bulb somewhere for that?
