On the dash top the center section is removed by holding tightly from the sides and slide it toward the windshield until it unlatches. if you mean the one around the radio , it is most of the dash face and has 2 screws at top of instrument cluster and 2 more hiding at the bottom under the the a/c controls way back just above the very front of center counsel.
Like mike said above just added some images. I removed four screw from the bottom where the hazard button is. Removed the cover where the flower goes slides off straight towards you. And the cover for the passengers handle cover slide the top dash cover toward the windshield with two hands towards the windshield. Unscrewed all the star pattern screws off used 2 radio keys to release the stereo then undo the antenna plug and 3 clips ( need to have your code for the stereo. Then pulled the dash forward. All done!

Have your radio code before you pull it out with the right radio tool. This pull would involve removing this parts.

  1. Glove compartment
  2. Driver side panel
  3. Center top dash board
  4. Defrost switch carrier
  5. Radio unit
  6. Center lower half of dash
So I'd suggest go to your local public library and look for your car manual. It would be either Chiltons or Clymers manual, it's not as precise a Bentley VW Official factory repair manual. Yes it really involves taking all those parts out just to get to the rotary switch.

2003 ford fan switch need to replace it and i cant figure out how to get the dash panel off. can you help?

Hello there,

Firstly, gently pry the cover plate from around the radio/switches, it will unsnap. Then remove hex nuts from fan switch assembly. Also, remove hex nut from back of the switch to remove from assembly and then unplug the electrical connections.

Good luck...

Ac problem

I just fixed mine. same problem, no ac light no fan. inside the heater control assembly there is a electric wiper arm on the fan switch. This arm connects all power for fan and ac. Mine broke out of the fan control switch. Dash is not too much problem to get out. Have to pull top dash center section out by puching forward and lifting out. pull all screws on center dash counsel. remove radio, two side covers that hide screwsand lower trim that holds emergency flasher switch. remove cables from heater control and wires and remove. Took me about an hour. The code on radio will need to be reset so make sure you have that handy. Hope this helps..

Indicators not flashing on Audi TT

i believe the audi uses two relays for the turn signals and hazzard lights so it would appear the turn relay has failed. it should be located under the dash near the steer column.... seems to me me they have some shielding under the dash so it may be hard to get to.

How do I remove the dash?

hi,

Remove the control knobs, remove the face plate, there are a couple of screws that you need to remove, then you will have to disconnect the control cables on the heater and the air duct controls, they are located under the glove compartment and on the left side under the dash next to the accelerator pedal on the heater duct housing, after all the cables are disconnected you can pull the control assembly out and then replace the fan control switch, I almost forgot, it makes things a lot easier if you remove the radio, the radio cover, and the glove compartment.

Thanks

1994 Jeep cherokee am/fm radio backlight lamp is out and AC/Heat dash lamp is out

There is a tiny little peanut shaped light bulb inside the radio that provides the light for the dial, it is replaceable, you will need to remove the radio, then pull the top cover off the radio chassis, the bulb is under the cover.
