there should be a clip right againts the door that slide of allowing the lock to fall out after you have removed the rods

 

thanks. that will help alot. i took it all apart today and it was hard to figure out how to take the cylinder out. they sure dont make things easy.

 

that's the way most automotive door locks have been held in for decades

 

thanks. does anyone know about the heater core.

 

Did you take the dash out?

 

i took the bottom part out and parts around the glove box. i really dont want to take all of the top part out. is there a way to change it without having to take the whole dash out.

 

If it is anything like a 98, NO. Does it have A/C?

 

yes it does have ac. there is a few screws on top of the box that i think i can get out that would take it out but im not sure. and i dk what the plastic strap is that is around the box.

 

I don't know what the plastic strap would be either. I am pretty sure the dash has to come out though.
