for the most part this is complete. this was a very time consuming DIY because i stopped and took pics and documented it. will update when i get new servos in as last ones i got still didnt work (dont buy them used). i do suggest you do both even if only ones out as its annoying to have to do this ONLY 2 turn around and have to do it again when the other goes out to! i figured it was about time some1 did a DIY on this so here it is

if your gonna do the DRIVERS SIDE SERVO. here is a link to a gentleman that can help you out and his post

i did not replace the air recirculation servo (step 12 and 13, this is the servo that brings in fresh air from outside the car or recirculates old air in the car) as most of us wont be either (for some reason its NOT prone 2 failure like the other 2 are) but i included it incase some1 does need to replace it or just wants to know where it is!

see since i did this ALONG time ago and just not fixing to do it again i forgot some of the small details so i will try and update them soon.....

1st and 2nd step ....should be able to pull this out. it just pops out after you unscrew the bolts....disconnect all lights/plugs on it or at least unhook them

3rd and 4th step....i think this is a 10 mm bolt. unscrew these

5th and 6th step....unscrew bolts holding glove box on there are 3 SCREWS i know if u look at pics you'll think there are 4 but one pic just shows the same screw

on 7th step...you'll see the metal tabs that will hold it in AFTER you've unscrewed it, they just pop or pry out. UNHOOK NOT UNPLUG SRS from glove box (YELLOW WIRE) this is your passenger side airbag and you don't want it blowing off in your face so just unhook it from the glove box and push it back outta the way, unplug glove box light (now might be a good time to upgrade the lighting or the bulb)

8th and 9th step....you'll be unscrewing cd player (again i think its 10mm bolts i cant seem to find mine to verify oops)
ONLY 2 BOLTS ON CD PLAYER, ONE ON EACH SIDE
