it's a big job Brittany.

you need to remove your entire dash to get to it.

You should really have the factory shop manual for a job this complex.

Perhaps someone from this forum could fax you the pages.

I have the manual for a 99 if that would help.

I just replaced the one in my 94 2 weeks ago without a book & did it in like 5 hrs.
