Introduction
This guide is applicable for any Accord made between 1998 and 2002.
-
-
Use a 10 mm wrench to disconnect the negative battery terminal, followed by the positive terminal.
-
-
-
Note that the dash has been taken apart before, namely to install all those fancy gizmos you see in this picture.
-
-
-
Use a #2 Philips screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the center of the dashboard in place.
-
-
-
Gently insert a spudger or flathead screwdriver directly underneath the clock, just enough so you can pry out the clock. Perhaps a half inch or so will do it.
-
-
-
Slide the clock out to expose a sole Phillips screw.
-
Remove the screw using your Phillips #2 screwdriver.
-
-
-
Unplug the smaller connector first. There's a tab on top of the connector that you have to push downwards, then pull the connector. Make sure to grasp the connector itself, and not the wires.
-
Do the same with the larger connector. Again, there's a tab on top that needs to be pushed downward.
-
-
-
Now, gently pull the bottom of the center console towards you. Don't yank it out, there's two more connectors holding it in place.
-
-
-
First take off the red connector. Just like before, there's a tab on top of the connector that you have to push downwards first.
-
Follow suit with the green connector.
-
Center dash can now be fully removed.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Excellent Instructions. Toughest part is prying off the panel once you remove the screws and clock. The power connectors to the controls, (Hazards, Clock, Climate Control) can be a little tough too, wiggling helped.
