AI caption · Photo 340 of 529

This document is a service illustration showing how to remove the A/C register (air vent) assembly from the instrument panel of a vehicle. It contains three labeled illustrations. View A, titled 'Louver Removal', shows the A/C register assembly mounted in the instrument panel and instructs the technician to insert a thin blade through the louvers and carefully pry up on the retaining tab to allow the pivot to clear the holes in the register housing. A center cross-section drawing shows the relationship between the louver assembly, the retaining tab, and the register housing, illustrating where the pry tool contacts the retaining tab. View B, titled 'Register Housing Removal', shows the empty register housing in the instrument panel with arrows pointing to four lock tab locations; the instruction is to use an ice pick to pry up the four lock tabs and pull the housing away from the instrument panel. The document contains no part numbers, torque values, or year/model identification. A reader learns the two-step process for removing dash vents: first extract the louver assemblies from the housing, then release the housing's four lock tabs to remove it from the instrument panel.
