• Q: How to Remove and Service an Instrument Cluster from the Dashboard on 2010 Jeep Wrangler?

  A: Disconnect the connector at the A-pillar cowl right after disconnecting the check strap from the footman's loop. With the doors open wider than 90°, remove the I/P assembly. Afterwards, take off the negative battery cable too. Get rid of the center console and take off the electrical connectors from the center I/P wire harness. Release the push pin hangers and let the harness sit off to the side. Slide the trim stick C-4755 or equivalent into the hole to unlock the clips, then slide the steering column opening cover off the lower tabs. After removing the bolts and the reinforcement plate, take out the amplifier. If you have to, take out the steering column. Release the end caps using the trim stick and in cars with automatic transmissions, unplug the shifter. Pull out the transfer case shifter, take off the clips and turn down the lower center trim to free the tabs. Release the two push pins in the back, turn it backward and then release the ones in front. Get rid of the electrical connector and remove the center cover above it. Separate the center bezel from the assembly using a trim stick and then unscrew the four screws. Detach the HVAC control cables along with the electrical connectors and take out the radio. Remove the bolts tested, the center trim panels and the nuts attaching the center support brackets. After the clutch and brake pedal clips are off and the rods apart, pull out the nuts on top and drop the grounds, then remove the connectors for the driver and passenger side as well as the one for the antenna. Take out the glove box, cut the positive cable from the battery and release the right side ground. Stand the power steering reservoir somewhere safe, then take out the battery tray. Drain the refrigerant and coolant and after that, take out the EGR tube. Unhook the upper intake manifold and, using cable-type spring clamp pliers, gently unhook the hose clamps holding the heater hoses to the heater core tubes. Afterward, remove the hoses and insert a plug or tape into each opened tube to stop any coolant leaks. Loosen the holding nut attached to the A/C liquid and suction lines at the expansion valve, pull the lines free and discard the O-rings found there. Attach plugs or tape where the opened refrigerant line fittings and expansion valve ports are found and set the brake booster harness off to the side, then untighten the brake booster bracket nuts. Remove the harness wire grommet and also remove all the rest of its supporting clips. Get rid of the trim caps and fenceline nuts and unscrew the side support bolts so you can put the I/P assembly back. Remove the main wire harness through the cowl hole and you will have clear access to lift the I/P from the car.
