2003+ Ram 1500/2500/3500
Source grade: A/B
- Use a trim stick to remove the instrument-panel end cap where applicable.
- Remove the driver-side cowl trim panel; the factory instrument-panel procedure also calls for the right cowl trim cover when servicing the full panel.
- Loosen/remove the hood-release handle only if it overlaps the work area.
- Because retention details evolved during this long fitment span, verify the exact model-year panel before applying force.
Reference: 2003 Ram 2500 factory-service procedure.
