The heater stopped working and I need instructions on how to get to and replace my blend door actuator. Looked on YouTube but there are no videos for this procedure on a 1998 xls. I removed the bottom panels on driver's side and pulled the carpet back, but there is still no way for me to get to the darn screw! Please help.

Hi,

I did one of these about two months ago. It required me to basically lay upside-down under the dash. Once you remove the lower insulator, I literally had different length tools for the different screw locations.

If you are unable to do it, the manual indicates removing several things to access it. See pic 1 below.

Let me know if that helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
