I clean and restore the instrument cluster so here is how I did it.
First thing disconnect negative terminal from battery
Remove instrument cluster from car and place it on a working table, good lighting is recommended.
Remove all bulb sockets(14 pz) and disconnect fuel sending unit’s voltage regulator.
Remove plastic circuit connector.
Undo the 3 screws that holds indication lights face.
Undo 3 screws from fuel gauge.
And 3 screws from odometer.
Undo 2 screws that holds inner bezels for each dial (6 screws)
Undo 6 screws that holds front bezel
Parts should be like this:
Indication lights can be disassembled by carefully unclipping center piece, and 1 center screw.
Foam seals can be replaced, I cleaned base with dish soap and left blue bulb caps because plastic attachment parts are hardened and will break at minimum movement.
Cleaned dial face and reassembled.
Same thing for fuel indication, an isolating piece of board holds gauge in position
For odometer there are 2 bolts on back and you can disassembly, one more to remove a square channel for high beam light
Now that you have instrument cluster all separated you can clean an paint instrument case
Reassembly in reverse order.
Circuit and voltage regulator were damaged so I changed
Also I changed the lens
If I did it you can.
