How do I remove the center dash panel?

Chances are the bulbs in your A/C control panel and the radio are NOT replaceable by you. Check with your local Chevrolet dealer to confirm this. The trim cover around the left switch pod, gauges cluster, and radio & a/c control will need to be removed to access these components. This trim panel just snaps into place. Pulling on the panel firmly will release it. Tilting the steering down to its lowest position will allow removal of the panel. The radio may need to be sent to a special repair facility to have the bulbs replaced. If replacement bulbs are not available for the a/c control it may need to be replaced to correct its lighting issue.
