How to reinstall the blower back into the dash?
« on: September 13, 2024, 19:28:00 »
I have tried to reinstall the blower back into the dash with no luck. I have only the heater core installed and nothing else. I have gone the extra step by removing the end caps from the blower body and tried it that way.

Scroll to the bottom for removal steps.  Maybe there is a clue there?

Was on that page twice today but my problem is trying to install the blower case back under the dash but when I try to get the two upper attachment to line up I can't regardless how I maneuver it will not align.

Did you see this post?, there's a link to a good description, although the translation is slightly dodgy

That's a great link and PDF attachments from WRe.  Good find, BobH.

Still can't get the blower to align. Do I need to remove the fresh air flaps?
