I was taking apart my dash to replace the bulbs behind my A/C controls...and I am stuck, I cant seem to get the face plate or even the entire console out for some reason!? I dont want to break anything so can someone please explain to me what the next step is?

Here are some pics of what I have apart so far:

I wanted to do that too, make them blue lught...but i got stuck 10 steps before you..... i couldnt take out the controll system itself...

Thats the thing, I cant take out the control system...the leftside of it seems to be hooked in with wires, that even my skinny lil fingers cant get to.. the right side however is completely loose

Try taking the face of the panel off by pushing in the three tabs on the top and bottom of it. This should give u access to the bulbs.

slushangar: I dont see these three tabs, or if I do, they are REALLY hard to get off (top and bottom) and the plastic will break if i pry them off... so i dont think thats it.

Silver Streak... heh, that was just mean :-P

Hmmm...I can recall removing two tiny black screws at the bottom of the face plate...mine was the push button one so it's probably different anyway.

Yeah, that was mean eh? :P

got a bit farther today, was able to take the A/C console out almost... its now a little bit more manageable... still cant get to the bulbs though but im working on it.

Once I figure this out, Im making a FAQ for it so NO ONE has to go through this :P
