The plastic dash panel surrounding the radio and air conditioner controls must be unsnapped from the dash in order to gain access to the bolts which secure the radio. Pull out the ashtray at the bottom of the plastic dash panel. With your hands, grab the bottom of the plastic dash panel below the ashtray location and pull firmly until the plastic dash panel begins to unsnap from the dash. Continue to pull the dash until the sides and top of the dash panel completely unsnap from the main dash assembly. The radio is secured to the dash with four (4) 10 mm bolt screws, (1) at each side corner of the radio. Locate and remove all four bolt screws. Pull the radio out of the dash. Unplug the black cable plugged into the rear of the radio. Unplug (2) white plastic wire harness connectors snapped into the rear of the radio. The radio can now be completely removed from the dash.

The OEM and PnP Plugs have release tabs that must be pressed before rotating the locking levers. Failure to use the release tabs may result in plug damage. Connect and disconnect the PnP connectors several times to get a feel for how the plugs work. When rotating the OEM and PnP Plug locking levers, if the Plug is fully seated in the connector the locking mechanism will be correctly engaged and the plug will be drawn down into the connector. If the Plug is not fully seated, the locking mechanism will not be fully seated and although the locking lever rotates and feels like it locks, the locking mechanism will not be engaged and the plug will vibrate loose resulting in illumination of multiple dash lights.

Note: using an optional snap on wire harness adapter will simplify the wiring. Most snap on wire harness adapters have already converted and color coded the wires from the auto makers in dash wire harness to match typical aftermarket radio wire colors. ** The wire colors listed in the chart above are typical for these vehicles during these years but may not be the exact colors for this vehicle. This is another reason to use a snap on wire harness adapter. **
