How to Remove a Porsche 924 Dash
- 1). Remove first the negative then the positive leads to your battery with an appropriately sized socket to loosen the bolt clamp on each.
- 2). Pull outward on the horn pad on the steering wheel and use a screwdriver to remove the wire connecting the horn to the wheel.
- 3). Match up a socket to fit the nut holding on the steering wheel. Line the wheels up perfectly straight with the wheel, then use a ratchet to remove the nut, spring washer and steering wheel.
- 4). Find the three connectors for signaling, wiper and ignition lock wiring under the steering column. Unplug all three. Identify your steering column's switch assembly and use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the four mounting screws. Remove it from the area. Wrap masking tape around each wire end and mark each wire for easy reassembly.
- 5). Use a 6 mm Allen socket and extension to remove the head bolt from the steering column, accessible through a hole in the underside of the column. Remove the plastic spacer and steering column cover.
- 6). Reach behind the center console and separate all your wiring from the back of the instrument panels and wiring harnesses, wrapping with tape and marking each side of each wire uniquely for easy reconnection later. Remove the wiring harness cluster from behind the console.
- 7). Remove the two screws on the instrument panel and the dash panel will snap out. Disconnect any remaining connections behind the panel that you may have missed.
- 8). Snap off the faceplate for the heater's controls, then remove the radio according to its manufacturer's specifications.
- 9). Remove the six screws holding the center console to the dash: two hex screws under the ashtray, two under the top lip of the console, holding down the dash, and one on each side of the console. Pull the console gently from the dash panel area.
