SIMPLIFY your dash removal '09-'14 F-150

Some procedures to keep in mind when removing the 2014 F-150 dashboard. Not a complete walk-through, but some pointers you'll use!

Ty for taking the time to show us. Blessings from above

That recirc door is such a bad design :/ the actuators seem to lose position, keep spinning until they break the door inside the air duct. I really hope I can replace that pulling the dash this way, it seems a lot easier 🤞

With this removal of the dash. Did you notice if it would be possible to remove the evaporator coil with out removing the steering wheel?

[@notamechan1c]

Yes, the steering wheel and airbag can stay attached to the column. But the column coupler bolt does need to be removed.

@@notamechan1c great to hear, I’m getting ready to tackle the dash here shortly.
I tried to replace the expansion valve first and that did not work so now it is on the evaporator

​@quinnerd88 I have the same problem. My nephew (who works as a mechanic but more on the management side) and I was replacing the expansion valve and we crushed the high side line on the evaporator core trying to put the new valve back on. Now I have to replace the core. So pissed right now. This is a job I do not have the skill or patience for. Absolutely stupid why the car manufacturers designed something where you have to remove the entire dash to replace items that may need serviced or replaced?
