i need to remove the panel under dash on pass side to get to wiring/ecm on '85. new vett owner and haven't looked under there yet. wanted some tips as to what to look for when i get under there. thanx

I am also new so can't help you here. However I recommend that you get one of the repair manuals (Chilton or Haynes). They will give you some good instructions and pictures. They should be available at your local auto supply store or can be ordered from one of the Corvette supply houses i.e. Mid-America Motorworks - http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette.html , Zip corvette - http://www.zip-products.com/Zip/assets/html/homepage.asp?URLCheck=1 Ecklers - http://www.ecklers.com/ etc.

Good luck.

have the haynes manual, dosen't show anything. haven't gotten a service manual yet.

3 screws (i think) and unplug light

3 to 4 screws and light plug to remove the panel. Then 2 more screws and the ecm drops straight down. Then unplug the ecm. You have to lie on your back and look up under the dash to see the 2 ecm screws. Hope this helps.

thanks for info, i have panel with light off, can see ecm. the carpeted panel under the "hump" is what i'd like to remove. looks like the dash pad needs to come off.
