Housing-Air Inlet

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Dodge Magnum, 2008 Dodge Charger, and 2008 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and cautions for this system before performing the following operation. See WARNING  and CAUTION . Failure to follow the warnings and cautions could result in possible personal injury or death.
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.
NOTE: The air inlet housing must be removed from HVAC housing and disassembled for service of the recirculation-air door.
