Instrument cluster removal 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Cadillac Deville SLS DHS DTS

Is it possible to slap a junkyard cluster into an eldorado. I think mine is bad. Car won't run for more than 3 seconds and the stupid anti theft message is going off. Prndl lights flash and cluster takes like 6 seconds to boot everything up in the car when I turn the key. No PCM data either.

I swapped a cluster on my 01 Deville no issues eldo should be the same however, weren't those that had problem with the chip in the key going bad causing your problem? Check it on google, may need a new key programmed

Hi. I removed the four 7mm bolts from the vents and the three 10mm bolts from above. The dash still won't come out. What else does a person need to do to free the dash pad?

Sorry didn't see you posted..... did you remove the panel up at the windshield and get the bolts off under there? You also need to remove the A pillar trim by simply pulling outward (these are the trim pieces that run up the pillars by the windshield

@@dgoldman2846 can this whole part be replaced

[@dgoldman2846]

@@rebecarico5099 yes it can, you need to remove the vents, all 4 of them, the screws at the defroster vents and also you need to remove the "A" pillar trims both sides to remove the dash pad. the A pillar trims just come loose by pulling softly

[@Ryerfryguy]

How’d you get the pad off?

[@dgoldman2846]
