Title: Door to dash cabinet
Post by: graybill1 on July 17, 2024, 11:38:14 am

The door to the cabinet under the dashboard will not open. It has a push and release mechanism, but it will not release. Anyone have a bright idea? Maybe it is now just a wall with no cabinet.
Thanks, Ron

Try lifting up the dashboard and see if you have access to the latch

From the Wiki - dash disassembly  Dash Removal (https://wiki.foreforums.com/doku.php?id=house:dash:disassembly)

Looks like a mess to try and get to it.  You can see in the 4th photo that the cabinet behind the door is a 4-sided plywood box, so you can't even get inside by removing the drawer.

There's a link to Rich Bowman's topic in the Wiki article, but here it is for quick access  Dash Removal (https://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=18705)

Thanks for the replies. At this point I think I will keep messing with the door and until it releases, we will have a solid wall. Fortunately, I emptied the cabinet before closing the door.

Would also help if your coach year and model was available
