Remove center stack bezel (radio, heater control), remove screws from instrument trim panel at ctr stack and remove instrument trim panel, remove dash top panel, replace speakers.
The Bezel can be removed by simply pulling it away from the dash. It is held in place by 13 tension fasteners. Place the tilt wheel in the lowest position and place the shifter in low so the bezel will clear them on removal. Use caution if the bezel is cracked as it may break completely when it is pulled off.
First, remove the instrument bezel. Then, loosen the little set screw that holds the wiper switch knob on and remove the knob. Then, unscrew the switch bezel. Unplug the wire harness and pull the switch out of the dash. Nothing to it.
You need to remove the instrument bezel
Remove the two screws at the top of the instrument cluster. This will allow you to pull out the entire bezel. Pull out the bezel, and pop the switch out from the bezel.
Look up at the upper part of the instrument panel and you will see (2) recessed Phillips head screws. After removing these screws you should be able to pull down on the bezel and carefully snap out the bezel. It is tricky, so be carefull. It helps if the tilt steering wheel is all the way down.After the bezel is removed you will see the instrument panel is being held in place by screws around the outer edges. after removing these screws the whole instrument cluster comes out with the cables still attached. You will see the bulbs that are twist locked into the circuit board. It is then easy to untwist and remove them.Rick Kellerrickadak@comcast.netAnswerThe previous answer sounds correct, but I was able to replace an instrument light by reaching up behind the panel. It's a little crowded, but not too hard to access.
You have to remove the vent & bezel assembly from below the radio first, then the entire dash bezel from around the instrument cluster & radio.
It unscrews.
