Ok So my Recirculation decides not to work one day and that got me pissed as I was in traffic behind a diesel school bus... Well now I bought a new button and want to install it. How do I get the wood piece off where the climate control buttons are. I have gotten the radio out already but just cant find where to take that wood off! My dam service book shows a pic of the manual climate control with knobs so that doesnt help me. Thx

look under the low portion of the wood where the radio was, you should see two phillips screws, one on each side.

I cant find the screws! Well the radio in my car is originla but the PO made it into a bensi box and is removable. I dont know where It could be. My dam recirc button is annoying me letting in exhaust smell during city driving

I think that the Recirculation is located on the right side not under the wood u mentioned. It happened to me so the electrician opened the passenger's box then from inside he closed it by a strong wire so it doen't open again.

i meant by the recirc button that is why I want to remove the wood and replace with a new switch

I would be willing to bet money (and that doesn't happen often), that the problem is not the switch itself, but rather the two vacuum pods/actuators that move the recirc. flap. The two are located behind the glovebox.

Thats a good idea to check on. Since I still havent taken the wood panel off yet, I might just take a loong behind the glove. I bet its an easy job Thanks

You don't need to take the wooden pannel off to remove the switch; it can be removed by a small minus screwdriver from the top and the bottom of the switch itself slowly slowly. BE CAREFUL not to harm the wooden pannel.
