Ok, so I get the old heater core out, new one in, everything back together (what a pain) and now I have an airbag light on my dash but my code reader shows "no codes". Is there a way to reset this light? I know the two connectors are reconnected, but I did have to loosen the airbag controller under the center console in order to get the center support beam out and pull the heater. Could loosening this have tripped this light?

Much thanks for all the advice. I won't unplug anything unless it restricts me from pulling dash, except of course the airbags, I will unplug these and tape connections. Also, I beleive my 95 may not be equipped with an evaporator which would eliminate need to evacuate AC system. Am I correct here?

Yeah, I did disconnect the negative terminal on the battery, and thus far removed glove box, center console, center trim, knee bolster under steering column, hood latch, and stereo. But from the Haynes I am using, it also states that I need to disable the airbags by unplugging a yellow plug, I assume this will be necessary to pull entire dash off? Or can I just unbolt the dash after dropping the steering column and pull the dash off?

I am also replacing my heater core on 95 Legacy. Been using stop leak for about a year as a "temp fix- procrastinate- not looking forward to pulling my dash out" reason. And the smell is coming back, so I need to do this. Quick question from you folks with experience in the dash. Am I just unplugging an electrical lead to disable the airbags? The Haynes manual I am looking at is kind of ambiguous and the drawings don't help that much. i assume there is a bright yellow line going to each airbag controller that I can just unhook. Can you give me some pointers so that I disconnect the right thing? Much thanks.
