What is the proper way to remove the heater controls...my levers don't move so well and they need to be adjusted/replaced....do you have to go throught he glovebox???

Thanks,

Rhino

there should be 2 screw that hold the controls to the dash

yeah, two screws on the underside lip of the dash, just below the controls....

then you push the heater assembly in....

bigvinnie · 11-21-2002, 10:48 PM

then you cuss a few times and it pops right out....

That is what i was afraid of.....I have an underdash a/c unit that kinda obstructs that area...so I am sure it will be fun to get out.....Thanks all

I just finished replacing my control unit, same situation with the underdash a/c. once you get the glove box door and liner out it's pretty easy to get to. I put hex head self threading screw back in instead of phillips, much easier to unbolt that way. good luck!
