First, use desoldering braid to reheat and suck up the solder along the leads of the LCD on the back of the PCB. You'll know you're done when you can see holes around the leads of the LCD on the circuit board.



also your hazards are on backwards.

 

doh o well s looks okay and it works still

 

It will eventually break the tabs on the button I think since it is not made to fit that way.

On the lcd, be sure you can wiggle all leads after desoldering. It should easily come off with no pressure. Some that have not spent a ton of time soldering have trouble with the desoldering braid, but you can get a heated solder sucker at radio shack for between 10 and 20 bucks at radio shack. I would still get some braid to clean up what it misses though.

 

x2. and yes, fix the hazard lights button.

 

also, in addition to the wiggling, yea... there should not be any pressure at all when removing it.

moreso, it should just drop out after all the leads are indeed loose.
