alright, this weekend i grew to hate the hybrid.

anyway, im replacing the whole harness inside the cabin since the ecu plugs were cut. i cant get the damn dash off!!!! its free, but the steering wheel is in the way. how the hell do i take the steering wheel or the whole steering column off? its the only way for to get in there and wire it up.

Any help would be appreicated.

 

You have to remove the steering wheel.
I don't have the manual in front of me right now however, I am sure that once you know that you have to take it off, you can figure it out if you can figure out the dash

Relax, take a break and breath before you break something you'll regret.

 

i already cracked the damn dash in a couple of places, so depending on how it looks, i might have to just replace it.

do i need to take the airbag off? if so, how do i do that?

 

Just unbolt the steering column from under the dash and you should be able to drop the steering wheel down to the floor as theres a UJ on the column.

 

I hate mine too, that is the rusting fenders and rockers.

If you only take those 2 bolts off that might not be enough...There are 2 more bolts farther down you have to loosen thos bolts too

 

dont hate your car because you tried to remove the dash without taking the wheel off you should have taken the wheel off first.

 

you dont have to take the wheel off... just drop the column.. like Pete_SI said, try taking the first two bolts closest to you.. then the other 2 further down.. that should give you more than enough room to take the dash out..
