94 caravan heater core
« on: August 31, 2014, 02:24:19 am »
Im changing the heater core on a 94 dodge caravan. My Haynes book stopped being useful. It assumes you know what to do.



I have almost all of the dash torn out. The heater core from this angle is located just below the "helicopter leaf" on my windshield.



The heater core is located behind these black panels. I have all of the bolts that bolt into the firewall from the dash. The book does not tell me if I'm supposed to pull the dash back to get at the heater core, or if I'm supposed to get at the heater core from down below. I also am aware that I have a piece of blue dash still connected on right of both pictures. There is an air bag assembly inside with a panel that has to come off before the rest of this dash piece still attached. The book tells you nothing about how to take this off. I don't actually think I need to take it off anyways.



These are the instructions for taking the dash off.



This is the black panels from the earlier picture. It states to remove the screws on it but it doesn't not tell you how to get at them.



This is how the heater core lifts out. No where does it tell me whether I need to pull the dash away from the firewall to get at it, or if I need to start taking the metal frames off from the second picture. The dash does not pull away yet so if I need to pull the dash from the firewall Ill need to take some more off. Any ideas?
