I want to take off my backpad to put on some sound deadner but i can't remember how I took it off the last time.
I can't seem to get the engine lid release off. Do I loosen the cable on the engine side? It's not unscrewing, the whole thing turns then snaps back... |

Put pliers on shaft to hold it, then twist cap off. Take seats out. Remove screws from cover. Pad is removed by pushing down. |

'Put pliers on shaft to hold it, then twist cap off."
On the engine side? or pull on the handle from the inside? does the handle unscrew and the cable comes out the back side?'P |

Pull the handle and release the lid. Then grab the cable behind the knob with needle nose and unscrew the knob. Then use the needle nose to remove the escution.

I'm so glad you asked this. Saved me from making another "how do I..." thread!

The escutcheon unscrews. So do the four screws through the back pad into the firewall.
Pull the bottom of the pad forward, and slide the top of the pad down. Don't forget to unhook the interior light. The power wire is always hot, so tape it up so it can't short to anything. Or just disconnect the battery ground before you start. --DD |
