Hi Brian, Console means many things to different folks. What are you trying to get apart?

Brian, you can remove the HWH panels and reach in and under to get at the switches.  A very thin prybar, maybe a small spatula can slip under the front or rear edge of the switches ot press on and release the tabs that hold the switch in place.  These switches are old and the plastic is brittle so use care. 

I have not taken the entire panel off, I think there are threaded studs on the back of it and nuts.  Maybe someone else knows.

If yours is similar to a 99 you just remove the screws and pull it right up. Good time to replace all your bulbs. Very annoying to look down there and see one not lighted.

Same here as Jor. Just  remove the screws and pull up. Lot of wiring in there so be careful.

The 2001 U320 panel has no screws.  The OP's 2001 U270 may be the same.  Feels like threaded studs on the back of the plate with nuts.

Does the Allison pad snap in place or does it have backside studs as well?
