my heater/fan/air system (has no ac) well it seems to be full of debris like pine needles and leaves. so when i turnt he fan on i get hit with a ton of smelly needles and stuff. so where do i open theis thing up to clean it out?


also my heater controls dont really work, the hot/cold wont go back and forth, it just stays in the middle. and the niether does the bi level, fan, defroster.so how do i fix this?

 

also its an 84 not 85 i dont know if this makes any difference.

 

Pull the fan out and clean it out:

Check the heater valve on the firewall:

If it works OK, then the cable may be broen or jammed. Diassemble, find and fix the problem.

 

On that bi-level thing, the piece that the cable hooked up to was rubbing up on the housing and I ended up breaking the control in fury.

Guess who needs to take apart there dash now?

 

im sure this is a dumb question but how do i get the plastic cover off the heater controls without breaking anything?

thanks.

 

umm.... good question... i got mine out lots of times but i cant rmemeber how to do it... this was when it was in one piece, its now missing a piece because i threw a phone at it last year in fury, so yeah. dunno what made me pissed off enuf to take it out on my truck, but must have been bad

 

cmon ppls i need help with this. how do i get that cover over the heater controls off without breaking it?

 

Pull all the knobs off the controls and then you should be able to put a small screw driver inbetween the cover and the dash and pry it out. Thats how I got mine out.

 

Pull all the knobs off. This does come out but, gently. I remember doing this in my '94 about 7 years ago. I think I had the center section off first though.
