Automatic climate control in a car is similar to an air conditioning unit but more sophisticated. It allows the driver or a passenger to control the car's inside temperature, and then the car's engine adjusts its air flow accordingly. Conversely, a person controls air conditioning air flow by adjusting a knob. The climate control system may need to be removed for various reasons, including interior car problems such as fogging and engine cooling. Removing the system from a Honda Del Sol requires a certain procedure.
Instructions
- 1
Remove the center console. The process may vary slightly depending on the car's model year. Remove the cup holders by springing the clips. Next, remove the ashtray and center glove box. A screwdriver, ratchet wrench and possibly pliers will be needed.
2Remove the car's radio. How to do so can vary with the type of stereo system. If the stereo is held in place by mounted clips, spring the mounted clips using a U-shaped tool. It can be homemade or bought at a hardware store. If the stereo is bolted, remove the bolts and screws with a wrench and screwdriver.
3Unplug the air mix control cable from car heater. This cable has a few connection areas. One is the cable outer housing, which is on the rear left side of the panel in a plastic covering. The other connection zone is where the wire cable connects to the temperature control lever. This part is flat and metal.
4Remove the screws at the top of the radio slot.
