Legacy777 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 You have to pull the instrument cluster to replace them. Unfortunately, that's not really an easy task as the black trim around has to be removed, etc. I had to lower the steering column to be able to slide that trim piece out.

BSOD2600 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Yea, it's a time intensive task but easy. I did it a few months ago when replacing the speedo cable in my 94 wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slunk33 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Does anyone know how to take the instrument cluster out? I could only find two screws, and they looked too low to be holding the cluster in. Sounds like I should just take it to Subaru. I wish we could fix more things ourselves, but the auto manufactures do this on purpose so we'll spend more to have them do it. I have a 2005 VW Passat and I couldn't replace the headlights myself or buy the windshield wipers at my local auto parts store. Sorry for posting a new thread, I did a search for Dash removal and found nothing, didn't search for Dash Lights. Sorry! Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 From what i remember there is a screw behidn the cruise button and defroster, and u need to remove the radio tray(screw inside the bottom box, its a screw in a tight difficult angle) then remove the 2 screws beside the cup holder, and the trim comes out? then there are a few more screws around the climate control, then u need to unplgu the vents, then remove the two screws above, but i chickened out, so never remvoed all those screws and just let subaru do it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slunk33 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Sounds too difficult. This is a daily driver, I don't know if I can have it out of commission for a couple of days. I thought it would be a couple of screws, but of course not... Blah, if gas wasn't so expensive I'd drive my 66 Mustang. Don't get me wrong, I love my Subaru, I just wish it was easier to repair myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spark *93' Leg wagon* If you are rapidly burning out dash lights, I'd suspect your alternator is putting out too high voltage. Check the voltage with a known good digital volt meter; it shouldn't go above 14.5V at 3000 or 4000 rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
