Q: Center boost gauge removal?
So how is this gauge pod mounted? Do I need to take out the center vents and bezel to get to bolts underneath the dash? Are the gauges supposed to just pull out? I've tried prying them some but they dont seem to want to budge. I'm mechanically inclined and can work on most anything vehicle related, I just dont want to push and pry too much and damage the pod without understanding how its mounted. Thanks

center pod 94-02
First off, What are you fixing? Curious.
But yes, for the center pod gauges, you don't want to pry the gauges out. They are screwed into brackets...each gauge has one. They have to be removed and wires disconnected once you have the pod up away from the dash. A little tricky, but yes removing the radio and center bezel makes things easier where you can get a long thin wrench in there. There are 2 to 3 nuts to loosen 2 in the front area and possibly one in the back or maybe there is just a clip for the top (closest to engine area). Ok no prying :)

My gauges read correctly but for some reason the lighting on the gauges is intermittent at times, mainly on the water temp. Its not a big deal but was wondering in case I wanted to remove the gauges to fix or possibly replace with something else.

center pod
Oh ok...yes to get to the bulb you need to lift pod up as discussed. The best part is if I remember correctly the bulb would be easy to swap out...as you just need to twist and pull out to get access to bulb without un-doing any wiring. I think it's a standard bulb not sure of the size though. You can also swap in some comparable LED's while you are there for a brighter backlight. Keep in mind clean the connection area of the little bulb cap deal as that could be your problem too just not making a good connection. Then before you put everything back and tighten down make sure your lights and gauges power up. Ok let us know how this goes.
