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.

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
