The Dash Lights on My Buick Terraza Won't Work

Fix the dash lights in your vehicle.

The dash lights in your Buick Terraza are used to provide you with key information needed when taking your vehicle out on the road. If any of the lights in your dash stop working correctly you should look to remove the instrument panel from your dash in order to replace the damaged dash lights.

Things You'll Need

• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Adjustable wrench
• Replacement LED dash bulbs

Instructions

1. Open up the hood of your Buick. Locate the battery. Use a wrench to remove the clamp bolt from the negative terminal. Remove the negative cable attached to the terminal.

2. Locate the rubber bezel around the instrument panel. Use the phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws which fix the bezel in place. Pull the bezel from around the instrument panel.

3. Remove the two mounting screws which fix the instrument panel to the dashboard. Disconnect the electrical connector from the rear of the panel. Slide the panel carefully away from the dash.

4. Isolate the damaged bulbs in the panel. Unscrew them in a counterclockwise direction until they come free from the panel. Discard the damaged bulbs in the trash. Attach a the new bulbs to the panel by turning them in a clockwise direction until they are fixed in place.

5. Reattach the instrument panel to the dash by following the removal steps in reverse.
