Saab 9 5 - Video tutorial

Model: Saab 9 5 MK 1, Ys3e - Years 1997-2010
Part: Instrument cluster
Operation: Disassembly of the instrument panel to replace the bulb

Disassembling the instrumentation from the dashboard is a complex operation and must be carried out with great care in order not to cause damage. To access the instrument panel, the entire front panel must be removed. Start by removing the wiper levers installed on the steering wheel column. Completely remove the radio and its internal support. Remove all switches located on the dashboard panel. Now it is possible to access the sealing screws of the dashboard until it is completely removed. Having removed the front panel with force but also with great caution, pull the entire instrumentation block outwards, paying great attention. Unhook both rear connections to free the instruments then remove the instruments. Replace the faulty bulb and reassemble the instrument panel by proceeding inversely, being very careful to reconnect everything correctly. Check for perfect functioning.
