Re: Unplugging Guage cluster (tsquare)
My dwg shows bolt from the 32-pin connector with a nut on the inside of the cluster on the upper right (looking from behind the connector). The lower left appears to have a screw from inside the cluster thourgh the connector.

You don't have to remove the cluster to replace the lamps. Remove the bezel and the four shiny reflectors over the lamps. Push a close fitting piece of tubing over the lamp and pull the lamp out of its socket. Use the tubing to reinstall. The socket on the cluster has two locking ears which must be released in order to unplug the socket.
