in Instrument Panel, Gages
and Console.
- Disconnect the RH side window defogger outlet duct - lower
from the windshield defroster duct, then reposition the side window defogger
outlet duct forward.
- Remove the defroster door actuator.
- Remove the I/P lower insulator panel - RH. Refer
to

Using a flat bladed tool, release the retaining tabs, then remove the lower
duct.
- Remove the floor air outlet duct retaining
screws.
- Reposition the floor air outlet duct downward to better access the air
temperature actuator.
- Disconnect the air temperature actuator
electrical connector.
- Remove the air temperature actuator screws.
- Remove the air temperature actuator.
Installation Procedure
- Position the air temperature actuator,
then align the slots in the actuator driver to the flats on the RH temperature
door shaft.
- Slide the air temperature actuator onto the shaft, while aligning the
actuator locating hole to the forward alignment pin on the HVAC module case.
The actuator should be completely seated onto the temperature door shaft and
the actuator mounting holes should be flush with the mounting bosses on the HVAC
module case.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
