brdhntr Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 how does the center section of the dash that holds the heater controls, radio and switches come apart from the rest of the dash. it's on a 98 xj. not mine so i can't look at it to see. i think i'll offer to fix if it's not too bad and won't take long, it's too cold out to spend much time on it.

Akula69 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Not sure I understand exactly what you are asking. The dash (once the trim is removed and the heater control and radio are gone) is just a pad that is glued to a inner frame. As far as I know they cannot be separated without damage to the pad.

shelbyluvv Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Put the trans in neutral, grab the plastic dash cover and pull it off. They come off very easily. *this is for a 97+ XJ, not any year MJ* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I like to 'get it started' by pulling the bottom then work my way to the top. Once it is all popped loose, one good tug should bring it out for you. They are only clipped into place (metal clips), no screws or safety latches.

brdhntr Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 thanks. the jeep needs a new switch for the fog lights, i assume. the lights quit working but will work on and off if you filick the switch on and off a few times. i don't want to offer to spend the time out in 20 below weather if it's going to take long.

87Warrior Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 It will probably take you longer to remove the switch from the bezel than anything. They just snap in, but have little clips on all 4 sides. The switch bezel will come out with a few screws. It is very self explanatory once you get the center section removed.
