BLOWER MOTOR REPLACEMENT
Refer to illustration for blower unit disassembly and reassembly, noting the following:
- Before reassembly, make sure that the air door and linkage moves smoothly without binding.
- When reattaching the recirculation control motor, make sure its positioning will not allow the air door to be pulled too far. Attach the recirculation control motor and all linkage, then apply battery voltage and watch the recirculation control door movement. If necessary, loosen the holding screw and move the recirculation control motor up or down.







CONTROL ROD ADJUSTMENT
Connect the recirculation control motor connector to the main wire harness and turn the FRE/REC switch to "REC". Hold the air door closed, then connect the control rod to the clip on the arm.







BLOWER UNIT INSTALLATION
7. Install the blower in the reverse order of removal and make sure there is no air leakage.

NOTE: When installing the glove box frame, the face which covers the dashboard is installed with double-sided adhesive tape.
