Dash Harness

[Cncguy1]

Is it possible to replace the dash electric harness without removing dash? I'm thinking of updating electrical in my 69 Charger, but don't want to take dash out.

Yes, removing the gauge cluster makes it easier.

tricky but doable

I replaced a dash harness in a 69 RR non air car in a driveway at night in less than two hours. I had to drive the car to work the next day.

Man, that's movin on! It took me longer than that to get the gauge cluster out of my 69

Non air cars are a bit easier

I didn't take the gauges out. Laying on my back with a flashlight.

I have only done an AC car with the dash and glass out and getting the firewall connector in behind the AC box was still a bitch.

yeah, I know. I worked once on a 70 R/T 4 speeds with A/C added ( using 3rd gen box ), but ducts came out from a 69 or 70 Coronet donor. Tricky ( AKA Pain in the *** LOL ) but, still doable.

Do it more often you will get better.
