Can anyone tell me how to remove the dash trim around the radio and temp. controls on my 96 taco, and what tools may be needed, thanks.

 

1. pull the 4 knobs off of the heater controls.
2. remove the cup holder by pulling all the way out, lifting a little and giving a good tug on one side or snother until it comes out. Be careful though..
3. Remove the heater controls plastic cover by getting a small straight slot screwdriver. THere are two clips in teh very center on top and bottom that hold it in place. Once you get the bottom one, the top one should be easy. At this point you can use the leverage of the plate to pull out the A/C switch (if so equipped)
4. There are two screws behind the heater controls plate one that is easily seen, and another that requires you to get under it and look up towards the cup holder to see it. Remove both screws.
5. put a hand where the cup holder goes, and give a nice tug. The top portion will slide right out.
6. Disconnect the hazard lights cable.

 

thanks a bunch rick
