Having an issue with one of my gauges on the triple gauge pod mounted on the A pillar. What's the proper way to remove the pod? I got to the point where I removed the kick panel and I can't pop off the speaker cover because the gauge is in the way. Does the whole dash bezel need to come off? I'm trying to troubleshoot a boost gauge and I cant trace the boost hose without removing the pod

Which type of pod do you have? The type that just covers the factory piller or the type of triple pod that replaces the entire factory a-pillar?

You need to remove the trim piece where the head liner meets the windshield and then remove the screws for the a-pillar trim piece. If you have the pod that just places over the factory a-pillar it will have some push in retaining pins keeping it on. You can use a flat head screw driver to pry the pod off of the a-pillar which should expose the remaining screws to remove the factory a-pillar trim (which is where your wires are running inside of and routed to your pod gauges).

For the speaker cover I've had to put a phillips screw driver bit into a 1/4" ratchet socket and remove it that way. Hope this helps a little.

It's the pod that covers the pillar my boost gauge is not working and I can't find the clear vacuum tube on the other side of the firewall

Can you see where the clear tube goes through the firewall? It should come out around where the harness enters the firewall next to the brake booster or they routed it through the driver fender area entering in through a hole near the brake booster. I would imagine it should route to the intake manifold, right?

Look for the clear tube under your dash. There's a ton of junk under there so get a small bright flash light and do some yoga under there to locate it.

Ok great I found the hose and where it's supposed to connect. The gauge is working perfectly, but my fuel pressure gauge is now fogging up on me lol.
