How do you open access panal
Bruce and Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I got the panal off, my problem was that I did not use enough force. It was wedged in there pretty tight.I wanted to look behind there because the previous owner had ran some new power leads to the headlights.I got my headlights and turn signals working. While I working under the dash I was checking a couple butt plugs near the steering column. I did not secure them correctly.everything is fine now. This is the first time in my 3 years of ownership that I had to open up the dash. Hopefully I can keep hands out of there for awhile!
