Getting at the A/C Blower?

[myrusty92]

My 92 Classic burned something up in the heater/a/c blower unit- smoke came out of the dash when i switched the heater on, I quickly pulled fuses and shut it down, luckily the whole thing didn't go up in smoke. Anyway, I need to fix the heater fan etc on this and am wondering if there is a quick route in to get at this or do I need to completely disassemble the dash? a brief Idea about what I might find if this happened to you?
thanks

may god have mercy on your soul...... yes the whole dash needs to come out.

Ditto...In the process of fixing rusty toe boards I thought it would be easier to remove the dash and replace the heater core and fan motor while I was there. Got about half way and said to hell with it...was easier to become a circus contortionist to replace the rust than to take the dash down!

thanks guys. I may be just investing in some thermal underwear instead. I've got the ac working. The heat sort of works if i open the vents and adjust the temp.

Plan for at least twelve hour for your first foray into the dashboard of a Rangie. Expect the plastic to be brittle and easily broken if you stress things too far.

Not a job for the faint of heart, but once you've done it, it's quite a rite of passage.

After having done many, I can now do the job in about six or seven hours.
