Instrument Panel Register Assemblies

Removal and Installation

There are four register and louver assemblies in the instrument panel (04320). Two are located in the instrument panel in the areas near the upper corners of the glove compartment door; the other two are located near the right and left edges of the instrument cluster.

The louvers in each of these registers are similar with a single adjusting knob provided to move the vertical vanes from side to side and the horizontal vanes up and down. The primary difference between the two types of register assemblies is length and mounting tabs. The registers in the instrument cluster have four mounting lugs and are shorter front-to-rear than those in the right-hand portion of the instrument panel which have three mounting lugs.

Louvers

Removal

1. The louver assemblies in each register can be removed from the register with A/C Louver Assembly Remover D92T-19703-A or equivalent. The tool, when inserted around the louver and pushed forward, will depress the louver retaining tabs and allow removal of the tool and louver assembly as one unit.

Installation

1. To install, place louver assembly in instrument panel opening and push until an audible "click" is heard. The assembly is now held in place.

2. Check for proper operation.
