SI Board Problem
Okay guys, last night I took out my instrument cluster according to the directions here. Everything went how it was supposed to--I replaced all my instrument lights and was all psyched about getting my SI board out to take a picture of the battery and write down some information so I could order a new battery and solder it in later.
But low and behold, the goddamn thing would not come out (and yes, I removed the one screw and plastic piece holding the SI board down). I tried for 45 minutes to get it out--pulling it straight up, wiggling it a bit; nothing worked. Eventually I put it back together to fight with it another day--my E30's my only car.
Any tips on getting the little bastard out? Other than breaking the beige plastic panel and replacing it with a junkyard IC I can't see any way to get it out. And I don't want to go to BMW and have them pull it out--I don't even think they would. Any suggestions?
