Removing early style ACCII blower regulator (inside front cowl) -- anyone done it?
Okay, story so far:
I need to replace the blower regulator in my 1980 300td.
Being an ACCII system, and a wagon, it doesn't use the familiar "toaster" blower regulator on the right inner fender. Instead, it's a weird looking thing located under the wiper cowl panel, near the wiper motor. (See pics - it sits up against the outer firewall.)
Issue is, when I look down on it, it looks for all the world like the wire bundle headed to the connector should be exiting the cowl and entering the engine compartment (in the pics that is the firewall it looks like it is going through). It doesn't. It appears that it enters the passenger compartment and the plug is presumably somewhere up inside the dash, I am suspecting behind the heater box.
I have the instrument cluster and the glove compartment out, and cannot see it. Before I start pulling more stuff out, I'd like to ask some Qs.
Questions:
1. Has anyone done this job?
2. If yes, where is the actual plug location inside the dash?
3. Is there any way to work around this or make life easier?
