You have to pull the dash.
Disconnect the battery, then turn the headlight switch on.
Reach around under the dash, and feel on the headlight switch for a little button. Push this button and pull the headlight switch **** out. Then take the headlight switch out.
Take a small allen wrench or some kind of hook tool, and press on the retainer for the wiper switch, and pull the wiper switch **** off(see the picture below).
Take the screws out of the dash panel that hold it on.
Pull it out as far as you can, reach back through and push sideways on the retainer for the speedo cable, and disconnect the cable.
The cluster should come on out, where you can disconnect the plug for the wiring.
