Here's another one. Supposed to be an easy job, but I found replacing the heater control was a PITA and bloody to boot. The control is located right against the firewall and requires super miniature hands, rubbery forearms, and the fingertips of a braille reader to disconnect/reconnect the hoses and control cable. Took me 8 hours to remove all of the necessary dash panels, uncouple the impossible to access hose clamps, rethread the control cable through the dash maze, and finally bandage up all of the cuts and scrapes on my hands and arms from the sharp booby traps behind the dash. Plus, you need to be a contortionist......legs up over the front seat backs and your head on the floor inbetween the pedals....to get into a position to do the job. All of this, plus the spring clips provided with the replacment heater control kit break super-easy. Extras are supplied, but they break too, so you have to fabricate a substitute set of clips from whatever you have on hand. Once the job is done, you will have nagging doubts for months that the control will come loose from the hanger and the miserable job will have to be re-done.
