Register
Instrument Panel RegistersThere are four instrument panel register assemblies, each of which can be adjusted horizontally and vertically to control directional airflow.
Register Louver Assembly (RH)
The right register is located in the area directly above the glove compartment door. It is supplied to production as a purchased-in-assembly component of the instrument panel but is available for service replacement. Refer to the removal and installation procedure below.
Removal and Installation
1. Carefully insert a small pry tool between the right-hand edge of the A/C register and the instrument panel pad. Use caution not to damage the pad finish.
2. Pry over and out to release the fixed snaps in line with center control knob. Three other flex tabs retain the assembly, one middle left side, one top left and one bottom left. These release the same as previously described.
3. Remove RH register from the face of the instrument panel.
For installation, press the replacement RH register into its opening.
Instrument Panel Cluster, Center
The center register is actually two louver assemblies which can be adjusted and serviced independently of each other.
To remove the louver assemblies, proceed as follows:
1. Depress the center division bar to the side.
2. Pull the end of the louver assembly from the opening.
3. To install, snap each end of the louver assembly into position. Louvers will not assemble upside down, but will interchange with each other.
4. To service the entire register assembly, remove the center finish trim panel.
5. Release eight tabs from the backside and remove the assembly.
To install the register assembly, follow removal steps in reverse order.
