How can I remove the dashboard on the passenger side. I've looked for screws but haven't found any. I'd just like to add I don't know shit about cars. Help would be appreciated.

remove the glove box.....you will find 2 10mm bolts back there.....they should have philips heads on them.....there is also a bolt on the outside of the dash that is hidden on the side vent that goes into the door,.

Make sure you get the screw sleeve things out on each side. These little buggers had me in the junkyard for an hour trying to figure how to get it out. They are on the sides that meet with the door, under the vent. You probably had to pull a screw out of it, but you also have to pull the sleeve out.

Yes, most definitely remove the steering wheel (big nut under the "H" emblem in the middle), also remove the center console, and remove the guage cluster cover (2 phillips screws in front, 2 in back under some square covers). If you've got an Si with the clock in the center vent, you'll want to remove that as well (or unplug it). There's also a bolt in the center of the dash up by the windshield under a square cover as well. All pretty easy, but possibly time consuming.

I had to pry the sleeve out with a screwdriver.. it seems that it was rubber or some type of plastic.

It's around 85 degrees outside and I got as far as taking the glove box out, the screws and bolts.. I don't think I want to attempt to take the stearing wheel off.. its too hot and im getting pissed off. I just want that damn door/seetbelt beeping to go away and im trying to get to the metal box under the dash.. so I can unplug the 20pin connector.

LOL... dude, why didn't you just say what you were after... There's no way you need to remove your dash for that. I don't think I removed anything to unplug mine (can't quite remember). But if I did remove anything, it was probably just the glove box and maybe the center console.

Nope. Just stick your head under the glove box area and look up. The connector your after should be right there towards the middle of the car somewhere, plugged into the bottom of a metal box. Just unplug it. So, yes, it's under the dash, but you don't have to remove the dash to get at it.

Make sure to test the seat-belt beeper afterwards to make sure you got the correct plug.

Should NOT be that hard though, it's the only one like that in that area of the car...

nope.....hahahaha. Ur both wrong. No dash removal or interior removal is necessary. If ur trying to get rid of that door beeper that beeps when the door is open, then it's pretty simple. Open ur door, then ull see a little black piece of plastic shaped like an L. Just unscrew it and there's a plug behind it. Unplug it. Done! I can't belive people are removing there dashes, consoles, and glove boxes for this!

Well, like I said, I couldn't remember wether I had to remove anything or not, and I went out and checked last night, and I'm sure that I didn't. I didn't even have to unscrew/unplug the door switch, which I think is a retarded idea anyways because first of all, my alarm system is connected to those switches, and second of all, so is the dome light.
