Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Zetec Maintenance Reinstallation of rheostat

Hi guys here we go again. The rheostat for adjusting the dash lights recently fell out of place and to reinstall it requires the removal of the dash panel section that holds the radio and the controls for the AC/Heater etc. Now I know how to remove but I haven't the slightest clue how to remove the rest of the panel. If any of you guys have any info on the process kindly advise. Your usual response will be greatly appreciated.

It's all held in with clips, except for the two screws at the very, very bottom...one on each side pointing up. Remove the screws and then pull it out. The clips may get lost though. There are two screws that hold the dimmer in place. I'd suggest using some 5 minute 2 part epoxy....excellent stuff. Hope this helps in sunny Jamaica.

Thanks for the info jc-aimhigher it's very useful, however, I have a few questions 1) Does the control switches (3) for the A/C and Heater have to be removed and if so how is that done 2) If I were to loose the clips how can I secure replacement. I hope you will be able to visit Jamaica someday and enjoy some of our sun, sea & (white)sand
