Hello, I tried doing a search and I can't find anything on changing the dash lights on my 00 Catera. Does anyone have instruction on how to change lights when they burn out in the dash?

Go to Search and type in "Instrument Panel Removal"

Okay, here is the step by step instructions (with pics might I add) on how to remove a 1997 catera dash. I'm assuming that it will be the same for 97-01 but dont hold me to that. It seems pretty involved so have at it!

Can anyone out there confirm if the linked instructions for the '97 will work on an '01?

Yes, they work fine. I just changed out 2 cluster bulbs on my 00 Catera this weekend and it was EASY!!!! I am not mechanically inclined but this was not a hard task and I felt really good to get it done and NOT screw up!

Thanks for the reply, Jeff. I'm in the same boat as you, mechanically speaking, so your post is encouraging. I'll give it a whirl this weekend.

Just dont start your car with the Instrament cluster out.. Your check engine light will come on. I had to buy the reader. Luckily it was on sale for 80 buck canadian.
