How to Replace the Dashboard Bulb in the Fiat Palio

Model: Fiat Palio MK 1 - Years 1996-2007
Part: Instrument cluster

To replace the dashboard bulb, start by removing the transparent plastic cover. Use two screwdrivers to act on the appropriate clips. Once the transparent plastic is removed, mark the position of the needles with insulating tape to remember their position when at minimum. To detach the needle, first remove the black cover by pulling it upwards. To remove the needles, force downwards until you unlock the pin from the plastic. Remove the black casing with a screwdriver. Once the black casing is removed, you can detach the needles by turning them counter-clockwise and pulling them upwards. Do the same for all the needles. Once all the needles are removed, take off the motor cover, then detach the board and remove the clips holding it in place. Once the board is removed, use tweezers to pull the LED upwards and desolder the LED.
