1989 Cabriolet heater repair

Feb 03, 2004 2 Replies

My old Cabrio needs a new heater. Can you get to the heater under the dash, or do you have to get the heater out from under the hood? I've done a few repairs on cars, but never had to work on a heater before! Any tips are apprecieted!



Thanks, JIM


What do you need to do?

  1. the blower? From the engine compartment area. Tricky but doable! The blowers for the cars with factory A/C should be different than ones without!

  1. the heater core? From under the dash, driver's side.

  2. the duct work? Definitely under the dash. :-)

I always recommend a good manual to help!
