Question
How do you remove and replace the dash lights on a 2001 toyota sienna?

Answer
Mel,
  There is an option I have on a screen that just says "I'm not qualified to answer this question". To me, it would seem rude to use that button. While I have looked at many questions that are out of my area, I usually have some suggestions. This definitely qualifies as one of those questions. I'm a Parts Professional, NOT a Tech but will make some suggestions for you to ponder.
  Around lunch time, I'd go down to my local Toyota dealership and look for a mechanic leaving for lunch. I'd just ask him/her. I think I'd stay away from privately owned garages. I know of no manual that explains how to R&R instrument cluster light bulbs. All they would know to do is just begin taking things apart until the had access to the back of the cluster.
  There are only 2 ways to possibly get to them. Either lay on your back and see if they can be removed from the firewall side of the cluster or the cluster itself can be removed allowing access to the back.
  Like I said, I know of no book that explains this so the Public Library is out of the question.
  I'm sure this isn't of much help but before you hammer my chops for a mediocre answer just remember I'm a Parts Professional, not a Tech. Good luck..

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
