5. Remove the two screws in the hooded area above the instrument cluster that secure the cluster bezel to the instrument panel base trim (Fig. 1).
6. Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat-bladed tool, gently pry around the perimeter of the cluster bezel to disengage each of the snap clips from their receptacles in the instrument panel base trim.
7. Pull the right side of the cluster bezel away from the instrument panel far enough to access and disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector for the headlamp switch from the switch connector receptacle.
8. Pull the left side of the cluster bezel away from the instrument panel far enough to access and disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connectors from the receptacles for the passenger airbag on/off switch (if equipped), the rear window defogger switch (if equipped), the heater-air conditioner control, and the transfer case switch (if equipped).
9. Remove the cluster bezel from the instrument panel.

INSTALLATION

WARNING:
On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, seat belt tensioner, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury.
