evaporator outlet tubes (refrigerant lines), and plug openings. See

Fig. 1

. Remove glove box. Disconnect 2 electrical connectors from

thermostatic switch.

2. Disconnect temperature control cable. See

Fig. 4

. Remove wiring harness clamps from evaporator housing. Loosen clamp screws

securing connector duct to evaporator housing. Remove evaporator drain hose. Remove air inlet duct. See

Fig. 2

.

3. Remove evaporator housing-to-dash panel bolts. Remove evaporator housing. To install, reverse removal procedure. Use new "O" rings.

Evacuate and recharge system.

EVAPORATOR

Removal & Installation

1. Remove evaporator housing. See

EVAPORATOR HOUSING

under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. See

Fig. 1

. Remove upper and

lower evaporator case half clips. Remove upper housing. Carefully pull sensing tube from evaporator core fins while removing
thermostat. Remove evaporator from lower housing. Remove stand-off insert from between inlet and outlet tubes.

2. Remove insulator from around capillary tube and thermostatic expansion valve. Remove capillary tube-to-suction tube clamp.

Disconnect evaporator tube fitting and thermostatic expansion valve. To install, reverse removal procedure. Use new "O" rings on all
refrigerant line connections. Evacuate and recharge system.

THERMOSTATIC SWITCH

Removal & Installation

Remove evaporator housing. See

EVAPORATOR HOUSING

under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. See

Fig. 1

. Remove 10 clips retaining

evaporator housing halves. Remove upper housing section. Remove thermostatic switch mounting screws. Carefully pull thermostat sensing

tube from evaporator core fins while removing thermostatic switch. To install, reverse removal procedure. Evacuate and recharge system.

THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE

Removal & Installation

1. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Remove evaporator housing. See

EVAPORATOR

HOUSING

under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Remove air inlet duct. See

Fig. 1

.

2. Remove insulation from sensing bulb. Disconnect thermostatic expansion valve at evaporator tube fitting and inlet tube fitting (from

receiver-drier). See

Fig. 3

. Remove thermostatic expansion valve. To install, reverse removal procedure. Use new "O" rings. Evacuate

and recharge system.

A/C RELAYS

Removal & Installation

A/C relays are located in left front corner of engine compartment, near battery. Unclip relay holder from its mounting bracket. Disconnect
relay wiring. DO NOT pull on wiring connector to remove relay from holder. Remove relay from holder. To install, reverse removal procedure.

A/C-HEATER CONTROL ASSEMBLY

Removal & Installation

1. A/C control module is located above radio. Remove accessory bezel. Remove radio (if necessary) and glove box. Disconnect

recirculated/fresh air cable from door lever. See

Fig. 5

. Disconnect mode select cable from door lever. See

Fig. 6

.

2. Disconnect temperature control cable from door lever. See

Fig. 4

. Pull control assembly away from dash, and disconnect wiring

connectors. Remove control assembly.

3. To install, reverse removal procedure. Check and adjust temperature control, recirculated/fresh air and mode cables. See

ADJUSTMENTS. Test control assembly operation.

BLOWER MOTOR

Removal & Installation

Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove A/C air outlet duct located below steering column. See

Fig. 2

. Disconnect blower motor wiring.

Remove blower motor attaching screws and blower motor. Remove blower wheel attaching nut. Remove blower wheel and washer. To install,
reverse removal procedure.

BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR

Removal & Installation
