REMOVAL

WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.




1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.

2. Remove the center bezel from the instrument panel.

3. Remove the four screws that secure the A/C-heater control (1) to the instrument panel at the mounting screw locations shown (7).

4. Remove the A/C-heater control from the instrument panel to gain access to the wire harness connections (3 and 6) and the vacuum harness connector (5) at the rear of the A/C-heater control.

5. Disconnect the vacuum harness and wire harness connectors from the A/C-heater control and remove the control from the vehicle.

6. If required, remove the illumination lamps (2 and 4) from the A/C-heater control.
