[QUOTE="Gary747, post: 436215, member: 19207"] 1990 Wrangler - The instrument panel Heater Control has 3 steel cables running to it... one on the bottom and two on the top. While removing that control panel, I had a terrible time removing those top cables. They each had a very rigid square plastic guide (one white, one black) that snapped into a square hole near the rear of control panel, these guides providing structural support for the respective cable. Without knowing how to get these guides off, and while working in the very restrictive space of the instrument panel, I pried them off with a flat-blade screwdriver. They broke... and will not snap securely back into their square holes in the control panel. The control panel is now basically useless. 1.) How was I supposed to remove these cable guides without breaking them? Is there some trick? 2.) As far as I can determine, I now must replace both cables in order to get new plastic guides. With Air Conditioning, this looks to be a very long and difficult endeavor. How tricky is heater cable replacement? [/QUOTE]
