2002 Sable and most of the bulbs in the dash have gone out. So how do I get to them? How do I take the dash apart to gain access to changing these bulbs? Anybody have a shop manual showing this or instructions they can give me?

 

Check with your local library. They usually carry repair manuals like Chiltons or Haynes. They sometimes carry the actual manufacturer service books too. Basically, you'll have to take the instrument cluster out of the dash to get at the lights in/around the gauges. The lights for the climate controls are rather difficult to get to and require taking the controls out to get at usually. That is one thing I wish automakers would make easier to get to.
