Yep, simply pull upwards on the back at the bottom of the black dashboard cover. It's held in place by two spring clips and will lift off with a little tug!

mine was sorted by cleaning the contacts on the printed circuit board,I very carefully removed the connector and used methylated spirit to clean the delicate pcb.
