Hey!

I got my MSP, who did a pretty shotty job at hooking up a new harness to a new deck. Now I have to go in and take off the entire middle piece off of the car to get my hands in behind to fix his work. Does anyone know how the disconnect locations for everything in order to fully remove this?

Unfortunately the wires have sunken back into the back area, so I need to get the entire thing off in order to rewire with a new harness. Plus I want to get behind to wire in some switches and LED's...any ideas?
 
Take the vents and point them all the way down. Put your fingers in there and pull the plastic peice out. It will pop right off. First un hook the hazards then go to the pass floor board. Take the glove box out and you will see a Black wire coming in at a angle that is connected to a white plastic door. If you turn one of the heater knobs you can see it. I think this side is the temperature knob not sure though. Anyways when you locate it take a set of pliers gently squeeze on the two tabs and then pull that wire off the white tab thingy. After that it will be connected to a metal clip push down on the bottom of the clip and the wire will come out after you get it just right. go to the driver side and repeat. After this unplug the wires from the HVAC and then it will pull straight out.
