Default 97+ Instrument cluster removal??

How does one remove the instrument cluster on a 97+ Cherokee????
I found a tutorial on Jeepforum, but i think it's for an older Jeep.

My cruise control works, but my cluster intermittently works. If you whack it or hit some rough road the jarring effect brings it back to life. I'm thinking that it's either a bad ground or loose connection. I want to upgrade to the new connector kit for the instrument cluster, but dunno how to remove it...

Also, where are the gauge cluster grounds??? I've cleaned most of the grounds, but don't know where each and every last one is located.

Thanks!!

Once you remove the hvac bezel and the panel beneath your steering wheel and the bezel around the cluster it should pull right out after you remove the screws. 5 minutes tops.

I'll elaborate. The hvac bezel pulls right off. Next remove the three or so screws on the bottom of the panel beneath the wheel. It will then pull off. Next pull off the bezel around the cluster. Remove the screws holding the cluster. Pull the cluster out. Check youtube if you are still uncomfortable.

If I want to get the Full Time bulb. Do I get green or is it already painted green in the cluster?
