Is there an easy way to access the speedometer illumination lamps? I have the center bulb out so it doesn't illuminate from 20 - 80 mph. Would I be able to get to it by taking the dash pad off or does the front of the dash panel have to come off?
ROTFLMFAO!!!!!Is there an easy way to access the speedometer illumination lamps? ?
Bring it to my house and I'll change it without taking the cluster out.
That is why they called me 'The Weasel' back when I worked on them when they were new.

Yah, where are you? I've got a job for you RIGHT NOW! I'll fly you down here if necessary. Got a 76 NYB das that needs to be COMPLETELY torn apart and reassembled.
Ok, where do you live? I hope not California...
Wow, you worked on them when new. That is super cool!!!

I know this is an old thread, and I don't know about the New Yorker specifically, but if it's anything like the Monaco it's actually pretty easy. You just pop off the Instrument Panel Upper Cover (the metal piece in front of the padded dash). It's only about 5 metal clips and should pop right off with a little prying. Just be careful not to crack any brittle dash pad! From there you can look through the windshield and contort your arm and see everything you're doing. Again, sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I thought it was pretty helpful and hopefully this can help other people with any speedometer issues...
