Remove bezel six screws. Remove gauge cluster four screws. Find backside of burned out bulb, twist and remove bulb. Bring with you to parts store. Then do all in reverse. Hopefully it only a ten minute job. While your in there you might want to replace all seven,or five. Count yours. So you can save you from doing it again for a while.

Try holding down the trip odometer button for ten seconds then let go. If its digital. Get ready for a short show. It will run thru a bunch of numbers. Once you see numbers with the letters po in front of them, write them down and search trouble codes.

For those with OBD1 (without digital odometer) put key in. Turn to on(not turn over engine) then off, then on, then off,finally on again. Watch check engine light. Count blinks. It will give only 2 digit codes. There will be a short pause inbetween codes, if there is more than one. It will end with 5-5 code, meaning end of codes or no codes showing. Write them down and search trouble codes. Good luck!

Can someone post a link to a thread that tells how you cut and fold the....well, what ever those strips of sharp, tire slicing metal are above the tire in the FRONT wheel wells.
Would have used search but I don't even know what that procedure is called.

how in the world do you remove the front end assembly off an 89? i've taken out all nuts/bolts i can see, plus the headlights, side lights, blinkers, and grille, and for the life of me cant find whatever else is holding it on. do i have to take the whole bumper off to do it?
