1998 Chevy C/K Pickup Instrument Panel Removal - Final Steps & Connectors

This document is a page from a service procedure covering instrument panel (IP) removal, showing steps 28 through 31 of the process. Step 28 instructs removing the IP from the front of the dash. Step 29 covers disconnecting the park brake lever, with a cross-reference to the Brakes and Traction Control section (Parking Brake System > Parking Brake Lever > Service and Repair). Step 30 lists eight electrical connectors to disconnect as necessary: the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning module (HVACM), the 22-way engine harness, the stoplamp switch, the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) calibrator module, the clutch or brake release switches, the electronic accelerator (Diesel applications), and the HVAC control cables if equipped. Step 31 is the final removal of the IP from the vehicle. A closing note states that at this point IP removal is complete, and continues (apparently on a following page) regarding cases where the IP is being replaced or refinished. This page is part of a multi-page set (files 1-8) uploaded to a 1998 Chevrolet C/K Pickup gallery. A reader can learn which electrical connections and controls must be detached before the instrument panel can be pulled from the dash.
