  Q: How to remove and install Dash Panels and trim panels on Mazda Tribute?

  A:

  Starting from the year 2007 and earlier models, begin by disconnecting the battery terminal and the steering wheel. Then remove the screws at the top of the instrument cluster bezel, stand at the top of the instrument cluster and pull the bezel directly out. The opposite is installation whereby the clips should be made to contact first and thereupon the battery should again be connected so that the Powertrain Control Module can be made to relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy. In case of lower dash panel, unlock the locking tabs and swing the dash panel down. To have access to the electrical connectors on the center dash panel, disconnect the negative battery cable, pop off the glove box, disconnect the temperature control cable, remove the climate control knobs, and slightly pry out the center dash panel. Disassemble the connectors, screws on climate control assembly and center dash panel. Disconnect the battery and reconnect it. On models from 2008-2012, lean the steering column down, loosen the bezel of the instrument cluster and repeat this with the center upper and lower dash panels, disconnecting wiring as necessary. With the center middle dash panel, take off the upper and lower panel, unscrew the middle dash panel, and disconnect wiring. In the case of end dash panels and driver knee dash panel, a plastic trim tool is used to pick it free. In the case of the glove box, take off the glove box, undo tabs, and screws. In the 2013 and subsequent models, the steering wheel is to be pulled out, the instrument cluster cover is to be removed, and the same instructed to the center upper dash panels and end dash panels. Take off the OBD port dash panel by disconnecting the notches, and in the case of the driver knee airbag, then you must follow some warnings. In the case of the glove box, screws and mounting bolts are to be removed, and electrical connector is to be disconnected. Unscrew the negative terminal of the battery, delete the Center Console and transmission selection lever assembly, defroster vent panel, center top-speaker, driver knee bolster airbag, dashboard end dash panel and OBD port dash panel. Carefully remove the instrument cluster, steering column and disconnect the various electrical connectors and then carefully remove the top portion of the instrument panel making sure that all the fasteners are firmly screwed on during installation.
