2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Need info - who has a complete service manual for a 2001?

[zman]

I have a rattle just behind and above the passenger side airbag that will require the removal of the airbag to get to. I'm trying to figure out how to remove the dash cover for the passenger side airbag. I have removed the four bottom screws located behind the glove box, but I can't figure out what is holding the top edge of the cover to the dash? Is there any info in the service manual on how to remove this cover? Thanks!

Bummer when you need to know, and have not a factory manual !



You can subscribe on-line, it's handy and usually way less than buying a manual each time. Look here:

$ 25 per year first vehicle, $ 15 each additional - depending on where you live, it may beat driving a zillion miles to get to a ''stealership", eh ?

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. If either of the airbags has not been deployed, wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service.

(2) Remove the glove box from the instrument panel. (Refer to 23 -BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/ GLOVE BOX - REMOVAL).

(3) Remove the glove box opening upper trim from the instrument panel. (Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/GLOVE BOX OPENING UPPER TRIM - REMOVAL).

(4) Remove the four screws that secure the two plastic support brackets for the passenger airbag door panel outlet housing to the glove box opening upper reinforcement.

(5) Reach through and above the glove box opening to access and disconnect the passenger airbag pigtail wire connector from the instrument panel wire harness

(Fig. 17).

(6) Remove the two screws that secure the passenger airbag front bracket to the instrument panel structural support (Fig. 18).

(7) Remove the three screws that secure the passenger airbag rear bracket to the glove box opening upper reinforcement.

(8) Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flatbladed tool and starting at the lower left edge, gently pry the passenger airbag door away from the instrument panel far enough to disengage the five molded tabs and snap retainers securing it to the receptacles in the instrument panel top cover (Fig. 19).

(9) Remove the passenger airbag, the airbag door, and the panel outlet housing and barrel assemblies from the instrument panel as a unit.
