I also needed to replace the bulbs on the HVAC control panel and couldn’t bend my wrist properly to twist the bulb holders free. There were plastic tabs and alignment pins at points on the dash panels which simply pulled free with gentle tugging.Īll this dash work did come in handy. Nearly all the dashboard bolt heads were 9/32″, a couple low down near the pedals were 5/16″. Behind the left side of the bracket was a bolt head which faced the front of the vehicle, unlike all the other bolts of the dashboard. In order to do that I had to remove about half of the dash board panels so I could get at the heads of the bolts holding the bracket in. Since I couldn’t remove the radio from its bracket, I removed the bracket with the radio still attached from the dashboard. I also disconnected the battery for the sake of safety. I had no trouble disconnected the wiring to the passenger side airbag control.

I am trying to do the same thing on my 2001 F150, my dashboard color is the same as yours, the radio/CD player looks identical to yours, only the part #’s are different. The wire colors were the same for both harnesses.I used the wiring guide on the wiring kit package and the one that came with the new radio.
