This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the TSB number referred to in the Note text of the Thunderbird/Cougar evaporator core
replacement procedure.
Because the instrument panel area on 1994 Thunderbird/Cougar models was reconfigured for air bags, it is recommended that the entire instrument panel
be removed to facilitate replacement of the evaporator core and housing assembly.
ISSUE:
A procedure has been developed for replacing the evaporator core without removing the instrument panel from the vehicle. Following this procedure will
reduce the time required to replace an evaporator core.
ACTION:
Loosen the instrument panel from the cowl by pulling the right end of the instrument panel rearward. This provides enough clearance to remove the
evaporator case from the vehicle. A service procedure for each of the vehicles listed above is presented in this article. Refer to the following procedures
for service details.
