Rotate the cluster toward you and lift up to disengage the locating pins on the bottom of the cluster. Remove the screws from the top of the IP cluster with a Phillips head screwdriver. Once the panel is removed, disconnect the fog lamp switch (shown below) with a screwdriver and set aside the panel. Also, lower the steering column all the way before you start.
