Good afternoon,

Do you have the heater box released? If not, can you post some pictures of where you are?

I attached a YouTube video of the procedure for you.

It is better than the pictures that are provided in the manuals. It is an hour long but very good information.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I have a Jimmy that had a leaking heater core. I took it in for repair and they said now after repairing the heater core it won't start and needs a new body module. It started fine before I took it in. Is this possible?
