My dash lights are going out,how hard are they to change out.
Thanks jim

 

Are you referring to the lights in your dash cluster? They aren't too bad to replace, there's probably a dozen or so of them.

Disconnect batteries
Remove trim pieces on dash cover and screws
Remove headlight switch ****
Remove dash cover
Remove gauge cluster by removing 8? screws
Replace bulbs

This is mostly it, but i'm probably forgetting something.

Thanks,where would.you get them.

 

Your owners manual should list what they are.

 

I believe they are GE 194. I would look online or try walmart. they will probably be cheaper than the auto parts store.

Thanks I will look into these.jim

 

The numbers should be on the bulbs. If I wasn't so lazy, I would go downstairs and double check. Be aware of flipping the cluster over on it's face. There is a sticker on the cluster not to do so. There are 3 plugs you will have to disconnect to remove the cluster out of the dash.

anyone have any tips for removing the cluster. My wires are a little on the short side which is making it slightly harder then I would like to get the cluster out.

 

If you flip it on its back you *should* be able to disconnect the 3 sets of wires. If you have big hands, you may not be able to do it.
