Active\Passive to Active\Active -- sql server clustering

Please forgive my ignorance, but are you saying to install another instance
(active) on the passive node? If so, can we then remove the passive
instance? If so, how should we do this?

Thank you again for your help.

Install another instance and run it on the other node.

You don't install instances onto nodes. You install them onto the cluster.
The instance can run on whatever node you like. We don't use the terms
Active and Passive any more.

Tom is trying very hard to answer your question.

You have a Single-instance, two-node cluster. The 'Active/Passive'
nomenclature went away with SQL 7.0 when clustering setup and functionality
changed drastically. You can add more instances to your cluster. Each
Instance will act as an independent SQL Server. You cannot have two host
nodes "share" a set of databases and scale out that way.
