2. Remove the outboard I/P insulator.



3. Remove the I/P insulator screws.
4. Remove the wiring harness from the opening on the I/P insulator.
5. Slide the I/P insulator from the HVAC module. Disconnect the defroster duct from the I/P insulator.
6. Remove the inboard I/P insulator.

1. Position the inboard I/P insulator to the lower I/P.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

4. Install the I/P insulator screws.

Tighten
Tighten the screws to 2 N·m (18 lb in).
