Does anyone know how to, or have a schematic of how to remove the dash panel on a 2005 F250 Super Duty. I need to get to the back of the radio to the auxiliary input. I don''t want to crack or snap the panel pulling on the wrong spot or forget to remove a hidden screw or two.
Thanks Dee

The trim panel just snaps to the dash.. No screws..

I usually start from the left side and grab the trim panel with my finger nails and pull straight outward to snap it loose, then work my way around.. They unsnap very easy.. Pull gently and evenly on the lower area''s ''close inward'' to the column covers.. The panel is pretty tough, but use care in that area.. There''ll be connector locks (red) on some of the connectors. They need to be revoved before the connector can be released.. If you just release the connectors more inboard to the radio area, you can usually position the trim panel upwards for the radio removal if you don''t want to remove all the connectors..
