Hey Guys and Gals,

#1 As Im going through the issues in my van I have come across a short in the front blower electrics. From what I can see the wiring from the fuse panel to the blower looks Ok, but before I start pulling the dash to get to the motor I wanted to check to see If there were any common faults and the best way to get to things.
#2 How do you remove the bottom plastic panel (seems to be apart of the vents) just in case I need to go that far. I cant see any screws or all the clips.
Im about to order a Repair manual when I order some parts.

The bottom plastic piece has no screws just pull hard.

Thanks for the link Bman, think I see the possible cause of the short in the last pic.
