My air was not getting very cold. Blender not working. Should I replace part or can I bypass the heater core? Need part number and or hose sizes for bypass. Thanks.

Good afternoon,

No to the heater core bypass. That will not solve the issue.

Yes to replace the part. I attached the procedure and a picture for you for the repair.

Replacement

1. Remove the glove box.
2. Remove the glove box back cover and the blower under cover together with the glove box frame.

3. Remove the heater outlet from the heater unit. Disconnect the connector from the air mix control motor, then remove the self-tapping screws and the air mix control motor.
4. Install in the reverse order of removal. After installation, make sure the air mix control motor runs smoothly.
