My objective this month is to remove the dash, wiring harness and the fresh air vents and wipers.

Here's a shot of the fresh air vent hose from the blower to the vent into the passenger compartment. You can also see the routing of the wires.

Here's a shot of the other side of the blower underneath the dash.

These are the wires that were connected to the steering column.

Another close up of the wires.

This shows the dash and the position of the fresh air vents.

Here you can see the fresh air vent removed, but the cables still connected. The vent is very difficult to extract, so take your time removing it.

Here's a shot of the other vent, cables and wires.

To remove the cable on the back side, I had to lock the bolt with the needle-nosed vice-grips.

A nice blurry shot of the vents removed and the cables and wires still in place.

Here's a shot of the wiper motor, wires and the washer hoses.

This is the back side of the vent control, underneath the dash. It shows the nut that holds it in place.

After removing the steering column, fresh air vents, windshield wipers, I was finally able to completely remove the wiring harness.
