WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 battery negative (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 an accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.
- Remove the instrument panel (Refer to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - REMOVAL).
- Remove the rear floor heat duct (Refer to HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/DISTRIBUTION/REAR FLOOR HEAT DUCT - REMOVAL) .
- Remove the three screws that secure the floor distribution duct to the bottom of the HVAC housing and remove the duct.
