I have an escalade 2000 and need to remove the dashboard in

order to rewire a cable.

 

I've loosend all the screws I could find but I'm not

sure how it's fastened (plastic clips?)

 

So the part I need to remove (not sure what it's called in english)

is the one directly under the steering wheel right above your knees

when you drive. It covers all the wires and is a big plastic piece.

(Hopefully this description is understandable)

 

I would be thankful for instructions or if possible pictures

from a service manual or such.

 

I'm from sweden and need to change this to get the car throug emissions,

please excuse language errors if something is hard to understand.

Block the rear wheels of the vehicle. Then turn your ignition on, put the transmission in 1st Gear, all the way at the bottom. You need to do this in order to allow for clearance of the bezel to come out. Also make sure your steering wheel is tilted as far down as it will go. Then it should be a matter of pulling it out as its usually held in there with plastic clips. I wouldnt worry too much about breaking them. Ive pulled my dash apart many times and never had a problem. You may have a tight fit as I did, but careful "maniuplation" will let it come right out. Good luck, I hope this helps.

I think he's talking about the lower panel, not the trim panel on the dash. Although your instructions are correct for pulling the trim to get either the cluster, radio, or HVAC out.

 

On the lower panel, I thought there were 3-4 screws on the bottom then it pulled out towards the driver's seat with metal spring clips holding the upper portion on.

 

Good Luck.

Ok, so as long as all the screws are removed it should pull right out?

No other pieces needed to be removed first?

 

And as bish said, it's the lower panel i was talking about.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
