• Q: How to replace the A/C Switch in the heater control and accessory assembly on 2006 Toyota Corolla?

  A: The first step to replace the heater control and accessory assembly requires the removal of two components: console panel upper and instrument cluster finish panel. The 2 fitting claws need release for extraction of the heater control and accessory assembly. When disconnecting the defroster damper control cable use a screwdriver to crack open the claw of the cable clamp but protect the cable wire from bending since this will reduce assembly functionality; a taped screwdriver tip provides the best protection. You should apply the same safety measures when operating on the air mix damper control cable alongside its corresponding control steps. Unplug the connector before you can remove the heater control assembly along with the accessory piece. When installing the air mix damper control cable locate the inner connection point at the heater control lever and fix the outer wire segment to the cable clamp avoiding unnecessary cable wire bending. Check that the heater control knob function works properly while stopping at both the MAX. COOL and MAX. HOT settings. COOL and MAX. Make sure HOT temperature setting works properly alongside the absence of recoil and that the outer cable stays connected during its pull. Confirm that the second defroster damper control cable stops at FACE and DEF positions without any cable wire flexing. Complete the installation by reattaching the connector before putting back the heater control and accessory assembly.
