Instructions for removing the IPC.

Remove 4 torx screws, 2 above the Instrument Control Panel, [IPC],  and 1 in the top edge of each heat/ac vents.

Next remove the trim panel from around the IPC. The trim panel is held in place by a number of self grasping clips. Carefully grasp the trim panel working your fingertips under the panel.  The trim piece is made up of 2 elements, a metal top piece and a plastic backing piece. Be sure to get hold of the plastic backing piece to avoid damage to the thin metal top piece.

After you get the trim panel off you will see that the IPC is held in place by 4 more torx screws.  Remove those 4 screws and gently grab the IPC on either end and with a slight rocking motion pull off.

The plugs are held in place by the back of the dash. Do not attempt to remove them unless you want to spend about 30 minutes trying to get them back in place.

Spray both the male portion of the plug on the IPC as well as the female plug in the harness with electric contact cleaner and reinstall.

Replacement is the reverse of the removal.
