A/C plenum door access

[Tom L.]

It seems I have a vacuum leak on my plenum door actuator or hose. I can hear it, make it go away by changing settings on the heater control but don't know how to get to it. I hear the leak under the pass side dash and above the pass side cowl outside the car.

Any help in gaining access would be greatly appreciated. Pictures?

Thanks!

Re: A/C plenum door access

You will need to remove the wiper door and the front grill assembly.
This should get you enough room to work on it.
It is a very tight fit in there, I also removed the entire moving assembly just to get a bit more working room. But it may have been overkill a little


The plenum door has three 1/4" screws holding it in.
Be REALLY CAREFULL when taking them out, otherwise they will fall down and will be near impossible to get out. I would work with a 1/4 inch drive socket that has a magnet in it, or ir magnetized.

When putting it back in and together, be sure to not pinch the hose.

Thanks for the advice. I had a feeling that it was under the wiper door/grill. After removing the pass lower dash and not finding it I figured it was there, just wanted to be sure before prodeeding. Thanks!
