Here are the directions and a picture of the heater core / box. 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. If equipped, disable the SRS system. 2. Drain the cooling system. 3. Disconnect the heater hoses at the firewall. 4. Remove the instrument panel. 5. Disconnect the mode selector and temperature control cables from the cams and retaining clips.
