How to Remove the Tiida Dashboard?
2 Answers
The method for removing the Tiida dashboard is as follows: 1. Gently unclip the retaining ring and remove the four screws on the dashboard; 2. Take off the rear cover; 3. The dashboard circuit board will then be visible, completing the removal process. The Tiida is a vehicle produced by Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company, with body dimensions of 4250mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1535mm in height. In terms of exterior design, the Tiida's rear hatchback is a standout feature, with the combination of strip-shaped taillights on both sides of the rear window and the high-position spoiler giving it a lively appearance. The front features a horizontal grille, new wheel designs, polygonal rear quarter windows, and an added rear spoiler, all of which enhance its sporty appeal.
Disassembling the Qashqai dashboard requires preparing the right tools: plastic pry tools, a Phillips screwdriver, and gloves. I usually start by adjusting the steering wheel to its lowest position, turning off the ignition and waiting ten minutes for the airbag system to deactivate. Begin at the top decorative cover of the dashboard—gently insert the pry tool into the gap and slowly release the clips along the edges. Avoid using metal tools to prevent scratching the plastic surface. You’ll then find four Phillips screws; remove them and carefully slide the instrument cluster outward with both hands. The trickiest part is the dense row of connectors at the back—either memorize their positions or take photos before unplugging each by pressing the release tabs. When reassembling, ensure each connector clicks into place. If the dashboard backlight fails after reassembly, chances are a connector isn’t fully seated. DIY saves around $200 in labor costs, but damaging the wiring harness could cost more to fix. If you’re inexperienced, it’s safer to consult a professional.
