The instrument panel is located on the dashboard of the Jeep Cherokee and houses the speedometer, oil gauges, gas gague and other important information that you need while driving. If you have a problem with one of your gauges such as a light being out, you may need to remove the instrument panel in order to replace it. This is not a difficult task, but may vary slightly depending on the year of the vehicle, so use your best judgment as you are removing it.
Step 1
Disconnect the Jeep's negative battery cable to avoid the possibility of injury or electrical problems. Wait a few minutes before beginning work once it is disconnected.
Step 2
Adjust the Cherokee's steering wheel so that it is facing downwards as much as possible. This will make your work easier.
Step 3
Remove the screws from the dashboard bezel and keep them in a secure location.
Step 4
Locate the areas where the clips attach the bezel to the dashboard by gently pulling on the bezel. The areas that are clipped will hold tighter than the other areas. Once located, pull the bezel in those areas. Change the areas that you are pulling so that the bezel comes out in one piece and does not bend or break.
Step 5
Remove all screws underneath the bezel that connect the instrument panel to the dashboard. Gently pull the instrument panel out. Disconnect any electrical connections between the instrument panel and the dashboard.
