Question 1

How to Install the Instrument Cluster Assembly on Dodge Durango?

Accepted Answer

After shutting off the supplemental restraint system by disconnecting and isolating the battery negative cable, wait two minutes to allow the system capacitor to discharge before installing the instrument panel assembly. Make sure the occupant restraint controller is not hit or dropped to stop the impact sensor from getting damaged. Replace only one at a time and test the supplemental restraints each time after making a replacement. With the vehicle open on the driver's side, set the instrument panel into the car and clip it to the side pins. Join the four bolts onto the fencing and tighten them to 8 Nm. Plug in the sensor's electrical connector, position the instrument panel defroster grille and completely set it in place. Nest the A-pillar trim panel on the passenger side and attach it with the 6 Nm bolts. Put in the passenger side rear floor duct, attach the ground wire and harness screws and fasten the bolts to 14 Nm. Connect the amplifier and antenna wires, put the amplifier in the vehicle and tighten all bolts to 6 Nm. Install the correct cowl trim, door sill trim and passenger side support bolts and tighten all of them to 27 Nm. Replacement of the end cap, the driver's side support bolts with the correct ones and secure them using a torque of 27 Nm. Fit the floor duct under the driver's seat and then install the seat itself. Apply the center support bolts and secure them to 11 Nm. Bring the center wiring harness from the instrument panel under the carpet and install the bolts. Unlatch the lever arms on the wire harness connectors for the ORC before you put them into their receptacles. Hook the ends of the wire harnesses back onto the receptacles on the ORC connector, making sure the latches click. Set the floor console, adjust the A-pillar trim below the driver seat and retain all clips into the dash. Fasten all bolts to 6 Nm and then fasten the ground wire to 14 Nm. Join the electrical connectors at the fuse block, connect the brake release rod with the arm on the pedal assembly and put in the bolts on the support, tightening each bolt to 14 Nm. Lift the entire steering column into place on the dash panel support and install the mounting nuts only loosely. Against the studs in the dash, move the steering column upward and hand tighten each nut. Secure the steering shaft coupler to the steering shaft and add a bolt for now. Put the steering column in the center of the dash hole and tighten all mounting nuts, starting with the one on the upper left corner, then lower right, then lower left and finally upper right, with 28 Nm. Use 38 Nm of torque when tightening the coupler bolt. Add a new brake light switch, position the shifter cable and join the wiring harness to its place in the column. Assemble the SKIM module, add the upper and lower column shrouds and place all screws. Add the tilt lever, reinforcement piece and hood release handle, while the cover is mounted with screws. Be sure to put the left instrument panel end cap, left cowl trim cover and left door sill trim cover in place and make sure everything is fully seated. Leave the negative battery cable disconnected since the supplemental restraint system verification test has to be completed once any supplemental restraint system part has been serviced.

Question 2

How to Safely Remove an Instrument Cluster from the Dashboard on Dodge Challenger?

Accepted Answer

To disconnect the instrument panel, first isolate the negative battery cable and wait two minutes to drain the system capacitor. Do not hit or accidentally drop the Occupant Restraint Controller, as it might injure the sensor and make the seat incorrectly calibrated. Change these two modules one at a time, verifying the system after each change, before installing the other one. First go over all the warnings and cautions, then disconnect the negative battery cable before you raise the vehicle. Remove the steering column from the steering coupling, lower the vehicle and get rid of the steering column as required. Get rid of the glove box and the side silencers located under the left and right side instrument panels. Unscrew the fasteners on the cover of the steering column, unconnect the trunk release switch from the electrical connector and take off the hood release cable from the hood release handle before taking away the steering column cover. After that, take out the screws holding the instrument panel steering column cover reinforcement and remove the body wire harness connectors from both the instrument panel and the transmission control module. Open up the center floor console, disconnect the coax antenna cable and disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connectors from all their wires. Take out the pieces of trim from the A-pillars and cut the connections to the wiring on them. Get access to the two bolts on the side supports by removing the end caps on the dashboard. Lift off the defroster grille to take out the top bolts, then you can remove both sets of bolts. In the end, release the bolts from the bottom of the instrument panel, raise the assembly up and away from the supports, slide the steering column end through the opening in the dash panel and remove the instrument panel through the passenger door. Just in case, take out the spring nuts from the dash panel.
