Removal of the padded dash. Now comes the removal of the padded dash on the 98. Winshield wiper switch ,and cluster lights needs attention, not too mention the radio which hummms, but no sound.
I have a new wiper switch, but cable and vacume switch not connected.
Just hate to get envovled in removal when I do not know what In am doing........ !
Thanks.

Why do you want to remove the padded dash?? The book reads (pg 15-4) Disconnect cable from wiper motor...Disconnect hoses from control...Using a small screw driver, pry **** from control...Remove nut from control, then remove control from rear of instrument panel...And then reverse I tried to pry the **** from mine and it wouldn't budge leaks a little but wipers work great, mine has a padded dash also Remove glove box first, then remove radio...makes it a hell of a lot easier....pull radio fuse first so your hair won't light up !!! Please get a chassis manual

Thanks Yellostatue: As to the paded dash removal, lots of rattles behind dash curve. I think the metal plate came loose below the clock. Not very eager to explore with a screw drive. Looks as if no has been that far forward since 1957.
Thanks for the assist.

The radio hummms because it doesn't know the words.
