My heater controls were broken and I had to remove the unit to diagnosis and fix it. It isn't that hard, but I removed both front seats and placed a foam matt down so I could comfortably lay on my back and work from both the passenger seat and driver's seat without issues. I also had magnetic flashlights set up and a headlamp.

I have a real small mini ratchet which was helpful. The speed nuts weren't too bad. Don't forget the light bulb in there. You might as well change it too.

I remember that I bought new cables for the hell of it, but ended up only using 2 of 3. There was some issue with how the repop cables fasten and work with the control unit that I didn't like.

Once you remove the control unit, you can see how it all works and it is pretty easy to figure out what's going on.

The cables are adjustable and you can make sure your travel distance is good.

I remember that it is important to note where the cables route.
