S90 / V90 / 960 instrument cluster removal

HI
1995 965.
I need to feed a speed-proportional pulsed signal to a VDO navigation
system. It sure looks as though the speedometer has several outputs
that will suit this need. The question is, how do I pull the instrument
cluster? This is a 1995 960, it does NOT have the two small
cover-plates hiding retaining screws. Are the screws behind the wood
veneer? Apparently the wood veneer is very fragile, I don't want to
break it. Any resources on the web, similar to
http://caunter.ca/volvo960/ but for after the 1995 redesign?

Alternatively, is there somewhere else I can get this feed?

cheers.

 

Don't work so hard. There's a speed signal going to the radio (to turn
up the volume as speed increases.) The speed signal wire is
black-yellow and goes into to pin 7 on the 10 pin connector (That is
the 3rd pin from the left side of
the radio on the lower row)

Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
(But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.)

 

awesome! thanks! My wiring diagrams show about 5-6 connections to
the speedometer, which I figured were feeding speed proportionate
signals to other items. But I'm not comfortable tapping into a wire
feeding a signal to the ABS or the AT. I'm willing to risk losing the
automatic adjustment of the volume, though.

Plus it's much easier to yank out the stereo than to undertake a
dashboard adventure.

This board is much better than Brickboard, where 3/4 of my questions go
unanswered.
