instrument cluster...

[smithma7 at yahoo.com (Mike Smith)]

I figured that was it, but wasn't sure.  The way Bentley describes it, I thought that the cluster would come out far enough that I could disconnect everything from above.  Mine only came out like half an inch and I could not see behind it, let alone get my hand back there.  I guess next weekend, I'll try the under the dash route.
 
BTW, 3 more shopping days till my bd.

Mike you answered your own question, it is the speedo cable.

Disconnect it and it will come right on out.

> OK, I removed the steering wheel and the little black "frame." I removed
the screw holding the top of the cluster in. I then pulled forward / down,
like Bentley says. But I could only get it about half an inch before it
stopped wanting to come. Felt like if I pulled anymore, it would break
something. I removed the trim from under the dash and looked from there,
but couldn't see anything that would be holding it back. Also didn't get to
look long as my flashlight died about 2 minutes into looking. So, I put it
all back together and did some other stuff. On the bright side, removed all
seats and cleaned carpet. Also fixed parking break. Question: what's
holding that f'er, er, I mean, instrument cluster in there? I saw the place
where it hinges on the bottom. Is it the speedo cable? Other like items?
Anyone local (central MD) that might be willing to take a look at it
sometime soon?
