Hello. Does anyone have pictures or step by step instructions by chance to put my lower dash back together? The glovebox, kickpanel, etc are in the back seat and the body module is hanging down, screws are in the floor. Apparently a shop took it apart diagnosing an issue (failed BCM) and when the previous owners brought the car home they had it left as-is. I want to put everything back in place as its supposed to be and some references would be of great help! Thank you.

 

In a nutshell: The BPM slides vertically up into a bracket and clicks into place. Then the heater duct connects to the dash duct and slides into place with one tab on top holding it up. Connect the glove box light bulb wire to the dash connector. Then the glove box assembly attaches at several points: peg slides in at the upper right; black screws with washers at the lower corners; then more screws along the top edge of the box inside the door.

 

Okay thanks! Only issue with that, is where exactly does the BPM bracket mount to? The bracket is on the BPM, which is hanging down touching the floor.

 

Oh that's unfortunate. The bracket is supposed to stay put. Just the one pull tab on the BPM allows it to slide down to remove it. But they didn't know any better. I don't recall exactly how the bracket attaches up in there. You'll have to get down there and look up to see if you can manage to reach and reinstall the screws for the bracket. It mounts vertically, more or less behind the glove box.

 

Yeah, there are a couple studs on the back of the bracket and two nuts laying in the floorboard so I suppose I'll just have to figure it out, shouldn't be too complicated I just want to make sure everything is as it's supposed to be.

The other unnecessary things were the small hole dremel'd in the license plate area to open the trunk - when the key they possessed opens it just fine, and the shifter trim removed to get it out of park when there is a removable plug for that purpose.. But... Considering the low purchase price for the car, I can't complain too much!

Thanks for the help, I have a better idea of how to proceed now.
