-Climate Control Unit (CCU) Removal:

· You’ll need four, skinny objects to unlock the CCU—unless you happen to have the special tool (pic here: CCU Removal Tool.JPG ). This tool can be purchased at Kragens, Pep Boys, or equivalent, about $5.

· If you don’t have the special tool, some custom tools used in the past include thin allen wrenches and “tweeker” screwdrivers from a tweeker screwdriver set.

· Your tool of choice gets inserted in the holes in each corner of the CCU.

· You’ll want to push the CCU out from behind the dash (lesson learned!). You may damage the plastic face or pull out buttons if you pull from the front.

· Once you have unlocked the CCU, push the CCU out from behind the dash and through the turn-signal & cruise control stalks.

· Once the CCU is pulled out, you may want to put a rag beneath the unit to keep it from scratching the dash as you work off the connectors.

· Removing the two connectors (“G” & “K”) is a PITA, but self-explanatory.

· The connectors are labeled on the back of the CCU, as are the pins.

· When taking continuity readings, you may find that you have to press firmly against the “G” connector pins, lest you get a false open reading.
