Need help on how to remove the dash and instrument panel. Made some progress, got gauges out but there must me a few screws I'm not seeing cause I'm at the point where the unit won't move any further.

 

All you have to do is pop out the dash trim panel where the acd button is and then remove the two screws holding the cluster trim in and then remove the cluster trim. Then under there are two screws on the top of the cluster on the white tabs. Remove those two screws and the cluster will come right out. The part you probably missed was taking the acd button trim out on the left.

 

2003's didn't have ACD. only evo 9 up has ACD in the usa.


I think he should just invest in the repair manual, so he doesn't have to always ask and wait and hope.

 

It doesn't matter if the acd switch is there or not. That dash trim piece to the left of the gauge cluster doesn't change only the buttons on it change between models. So his is probably a mirror control and fog light button then. Also the 2005 usdm evo 8 had acd fyi.

 

there is a "how to" in the how to section of the forum

 

Not to be a dick but if you need a how to in order to remove your cluster you probably shouldn't be removing it to begin with.
