REMOVAL
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the
airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system.
Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Pull the carpet on the passenger side front floor away from the dash panel far enough to access the recirculation door actuator.
3. Disconnect the HVAC wire harness connector from the recirculation door actuator (Figure 1).
4. Remove the two screws that secure the recirculation door actuator to the air inlet housing and remove the actuator.
