Daskuppler Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Is the heater box what I need, or should I get something else? Looks.like ebay has a lot of offerings but I'm not really sure what in I need and what's included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daskuppler Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 If this happens to anyone else, you can manually turn the temperature control doohickey with a set of curved hemostats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daskuppler Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) I finally got around to replacing the heater box. 7 hours later, everything seems fine. My heat is hotter than it was before and the AC is nice and cold. I did end up breaking the trim piece that holds the clock...Anyone know where I could pick one up? Ebay has them for about $90 including the clock (my clock doesn't work so that may not be a bad option). Anyone on here have a parts vehicle to sell from? I have a black dash.

lmdew Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I have a complete gauge cluster in COS. I don't remember if the clock was working or not. PM your email and I'll send you some pics when I get home. Larry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvu Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Great to hear things are fixed! Also you're talking about the pod on top center of the dash? I have a 2003 impreza and it cracked, replaced it with a 2006 one, it also cracked. The plastic just gets brittle over time. I've given up repairing it and covered the hole with some scrap plastic sheeting and double stick tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you could ever remove it without breaking it or the dash around it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may deal with the heater box replacement on my uncle's incoming Impreza TS project. Got to finish installing the suspension, off road tires, and brake pads on the Silverado before we can clear the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was no able to get it out without discharging the AC system. Make sure.you have something handy to hold the steering column up, you don't want to pull the firewall grommet out. Also, the airbag module has to be removed and is a toex head. I'm not sure what size it is, I just used vice grips in the head since I didn't have the right size. The bolts aren't in super tight. If you don't have trim/panel tools, get some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
