How do I change dash bulbs?

Post by AlanS »

Some of my dash lights are out on my 2001 S40... Dealer wants $180+ to replace and change all bulbs in the dash... the ones by the Fuel level are out. Scared my wife by telling her that "If your husband does this, he will probably break something and it will cost even more". That's a challenge to me!
Anyone have a tutorial on how to get to these bulbs?

Sorry for the delay but I have been away all week.

The attached shows you what to do. Obviously some of it doesn't apply but note the part about disconnecting the battery.
