So I got some bad news from the dealership today regarding my AC woes.....I need a new evaporator!
The damage.....$2500!!!! (more than i bought the car for) I said "hmm...no thanks." Obviously. So, I'm going to try this myself. Anyone have any experience changing this out? The mechanic was saying the whole dash would need to be removed. My repair manual says just the glove box needs to be removed, which wouldn't be so bad. I'm going to tear into it tomorrow morning and take a look around. I'm hoping i don't have to remove the whole dash! Also, this part seems hard to find. I've looked online, and only autozone has a listing for it (170.99). And it needs to be special ordered. What do you guys think? Can I replace the evaporator myself? I'll tear into it tomorrow morning and find out i guess.... -------------------- 1995 Celica ST

Taking the dash apart is not bad, just make sure you bag all the screws and label the bags, it will be much easier dude. take pics of how things are before you take apart and label all the plugs and wires you disconect, youll be happy if you do...
