    Series III dash removal - sequence

    Can anyone tell me the sequence for removing a Series III Dash? I want to check some wiring and get at the Windshield Wiper mechanism. I have the dvd version of the manuals, but I can't find the sequence. BTW, anyone know how to print from the manual dvd? I know it is DRM protected but, bringing the laptop out is a PITA.
    regards,

    paul

    From Memory:


    Remove the trim along the edge of the lower dash tray. Windshield wiper motor cover will now come off.
    Remove defroster hose
    Remove the plastic pins holding the dash tray in and remove tray
    Take top and bottom steering column fascia pieces apart
    Unscrew instrument panel face and pull back a bit
    Unscrew and move heater control panel to side
    Remove metal brace that spans bottom of instrument panel box
    Remove instrument panel box carefully so you don't break it.
    Remove lower dash.
    Remove upper dash.

    Might have forgot a thing or two, but it'll become obvious as you go.

      Thanks, Mark. Now all I need is a cooler day to do it. 90+ and humid in Vermont is no time to be trying to do this job.

      cheers,
