How to Repair an Automotive Instrument Cluster
1. Open the hood. Detach the negative battery terminal with a wrench.
2. Locate the cowl trim around the edges of the instrument cluster. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws that secure the cowl. Lift the cowl away from the instrument cluster.
3. Remove the three mounting screws attached to the cluster. Unhook the electrical connectors from the back of the cluster. Slide the cluster out of the dash and place it on a flat work surface.
4. Unscrew the broken bulbs in a counterclockwise direction. Discard the broken bulbs. Install the new bulbs by turning them in the opposite direction.
5. To reinstall the cluster or install a new one, simply follow the removal steps in reverse. Reattach the negative battery cable and turn on the engine to test the indicator bulbs in the instrument cluster.

How to Remove a E320 Instrument Cluster
1. Turn off the E320s engine and open the hood.
2. Using a socket wrench, disconnect the negative terminal cable from the battery. This will prevent any accidental shocks.
3. Lower the steering wheel as far low and out as it will go. This will allow for more room to work with when removing the cluster.
4. Use the instrument cluster tool to pry out the instrument cluster. Slide it into the lower corner of the cluster and pry upwards to pop it out.
5. Unplug the two electrical connectors behind the cluster.
6. Remove the cluster from the vehicle and replace if necessary.
