First, you'll want to gather the following tools:

• Trim removal tool - you can use a flat-bladed screwdriver or putty knife, but you might scratch up your dashboard. We offer an inexpensive trim pry tool that is made for the job.
• Wrench
• Hex screwdriver

Next, prepare your Escalade so you can work on it.

• Park on a level surface and apply the emergency brake.
• Disconnect the battery.
• Tilt the steering down as far as it will go to provide room to remove the instrument cluster.

Once you have the tools and the truck is ready, follow these steps to remove your instrument cluster:

• Take the trim tool and carefully remove the dash panel from around the instrument cluster. Be careful not to break any clips or gouge the plastic.
• Next, use the hex screwdriver to unscrew the bolts holding the instrument cluster in the dashboard.
• Once the instrument cluster is loose, pull it out of the dashboard and unplug the master connector. Be careful not to pull on the wires when unplugging the connectors.

Now you're ready to take your instrument cluster to a repair shop or replace it with a new one.
