Cable, Temperature Control: Removal: Removal

WARNING:

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 follow these instructions may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.

NOTE:

Whenever the temperature control cable is removed from the HVAC housing, a new cable must be installed. Failure to replace the temperature control cable when required can result in some temperatures not being fully obtained.
