How to avoid noises in the dashboard?

[dgomez]

Hello: I am writing from Colombia. I have been trying to solve a lot of noises my car has, but I have not been able to remove the "clocks" (speedometer, temperature and fuel gauges, etc). Does anybody know how to do it? That is the only problem my car has. Actually, in Colombia my car is a Kia Pride.
