Auto Parts: Dash removal to gain access to a control, pep boys, control question

Question
QUESTION: Sirs,I have a 1993 Olds Royale 88.I need to get to the A/C controls so I can check the switch to see if it is operating correctly.Problem is,I don't any idea how to remove the dash to get to the control. Could ya'll please help me out? I don't want to do any damage to the car!Thanking you in advance.

ANSWER: Hi Gregg,

Sorry dude, I don't offer step-by-step instructions because they make books just for that purpose and they'd be more accurate then me telling you what to do from memory on a car/item I have very little experience with.

Sorry I could not help you more.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.

Hi Gregg,

Awesome. I wish I were able to actually assist you, but I'm glad you figured it out. Remember, 'can't' is a BAD word.
