INSTALLATION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS,
DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPT-
ING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN,
SEAT BELT TENSIONER, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL
COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT
AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND)
CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS
THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS
COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOY-
MENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
(1)With the aid of an assistant, load the instrument
panel assembly onto the roll-down bracket screws on
the cowl side inner panels in the vehicle (Fig. 11).
Install a temporary hook in the center hole on top of the
instrument panel. Secure the other end of the hook to
the center hole in the top of the dash panel. The hook
should support the instrument panel in its rolled down
position about 46 cm (18 inches) from the dash panel.
(2) With the instrument panel supported in the
roll-down position, reconnect the instrument panel
wire harness connectors to the heater-A/C housing
wire harness connectors.
(3) Remove the temporary hook from the instru-
ment panel and roll the instrument panel up to its
installed position against the dash panel.
(4) Install and tighten the five screws that secure
the top of the instrument panel to the top of the dash
panel. Tighten the screws to 3.2 N´m (28 in. lbs.).
(5) Tighten the right and left instrument panel
cowl side roll-down bracket screws. Tighten the
screws to 11.9 N´m (105 in. lbs.).
(6) From under the passenger side of the instru-
ment panel, reconnect the two halves of the radio
antenna coaxial cable connector.
(7) From under the driver side of the instrument
panel, perform the following:
(a) Engage the park brake release handle link-
age rod with the park brake mechanism on the left
cowl side inner panel. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/PARK-
ING BRAKE/RELEASE - INSTALLATION).
(b) Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector to the park brake switch on the park
brake mechanism.(c) Reconnect the three connectors (one from the
body wire harness, and two from the headlamp and
dash wire harness) to the three connector recepta-
cles located closest to the dash panel on the back of
the Junction Block (JB).
(d)
Reconnect the headlamp and dash wire harness
to instrument panel wire harness bulkhead connector
and tighten the screw in the center of the connector.
Tighten the screw to 3.5 N´m (31 in. lbs.).
(e) Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness
to door wire harness connector located directly
below the instrument panel wire harness to head-
lamp and dash wire harness bulkhead connector.
(f) If the vehicle is equipped with the Infinity
sound system option, reconnect the Infinity wire
harness connector to the instrument panel wire
harness connector that is secured to the outboard
side of the instrument panel wire harness to head-
lamp and dash wire harness bulkhead connector.
(g) Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector to the stop lamp switch.
(h) Reconnect the heater-A/C housing vacuum
harness connector to the heater-A/C control vac-
uum harness connector located near the left end of
the heater-A/C housing.
(8) Reinstall the steering column into the vehicle.
Be certain that the steering wheel was locked and
secured from rotation to prevent the loss of clock-
spring centering. (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COL-
UMN - INSTALLATION).
(9) If the vehicle is so equipped, reconnect the
overdrive lockout switch pigtail wire connector to the
instrument panel wire harness connector near the
instrument panel lower reinforcement.
(10) Reconnect the clockspring pigtail wire connec-
tor to the instrument panel wire harness connector
at the instrument panel lower reinforcement.
(11) Position the inside hood latch release handle
to the instrument panel lower reinforcement.
(12) Install and tighten the two screws that secure
the inside hood latch release handle to the instru-
ment panel lower reinforcement. Tighten the screws
to 2.8 N´m (25 in. lbs.).
(13) Reinstall the steering column opening cover
onto the instrument panel. (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-
STRUMENT PANEL/STEERING COLUMN OPEN-
ING COVER - INSTALLATION).
(14) Reinstall the trim onto the left and right cowl
side inner panels. (Refer to 23 - BODY/INTERIOR/
COWL TRIM COVER - INSTALLATION).
(15) Reinstall the Airbag Control Module (ACM)
and bracket onto the floor panel transmission tunnel.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/AIRBAG
CONTROL MODULE - INSTALLATION).
(16) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
