Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Roll the instrument panel back. Refer to Instrument Panel Carrier Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
- Remove the plenum tray.
- Disconnect the electrical connector.
- Remove the screws.
- Remove the resistor.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
Installation Procedure
- Install the resistor.
- Install the screws.
- Connect the electrical connector.
- Install the plenum tray.
- Roll the instrument panel forward. Refer to Instrument Panel Carrier Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- Verify the circuit operation.
Notice: Do not allow the resistor coils to touch. Improper operation or damage to the vehicle may result.
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.
Tighten
Tighten the screws to 1.4 N·m (12 lb in).
