How to Remove the Centre Switch Panel from a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Dashboard

Using a spatula, lever one side of the switch panel. You can now remove it from its housing. Disconnect the connectors by lowering the red side lever. Now you have the switch panel in hand. You can then proceed to dismantle the switch panel. The motherboard cannot be repaired, so if the issue is due to this, the entire unit will need to be replaced. If there are any buttons to replace, you can proceed with those. Once the operation is complete, you can reassemble the switch panel in its housing, ensuring to reconnect the connector.
