2. Turn off the engine and all of the lights.
3. Open the hood of your car and disconnect the battery cable.
4. Disconnect the upper radiator hose from the thermostat housing by rotating it clockwise about 1/2 turn.
5. Remove the two screws that hold on the heater control unit cover, then gently pull up on the cover until it comes off of the control unit housing.
6. Carefully remove the four screws that are holding on the blower motor housing and unscrew it from the control unit housing. Be sure to save all of these parts!

Disconnect Cooling Fan
If you have a 2003-2006 Toyota Avalon, the coolant fan may need to be disconnected in order to remove the heater core. The procedure is as follows:
1. Open the hood and locate the air intake duct on the passenger side of the car. It should look something like this:
2. Disconnect the two clips that hold it in place, then pull it out.
3. Locate and disconnect the coolant fan control connector (arrow) by pulling up on it gently while pushing down on the black wire attached to it (see below). The connector will come free after a few seconds of effort. Carefully place it on the ground next to the air intake duct.
4. Remove two screws that are located near each end of the heater core housing (1 shown below), then carefully pull it straight out from under the car. Be careful not to lose anything inside!
5. If there is any water or melted ice inside of the heater core housing, pour a pot of hot water over it and let it sit for about 5 minutes before attempting to remove or reinstall it again – this will help clean everything up nicely!
Remove Air Vents
If your car has a heater core, removing it is very easy. All you need is a wrench and some elbow grease. Here’s how to do it: 1. Open the hood of the car.
2. Remove the two screws that hold the air vent in place.
3. Lift out the air vent.
4. Take the wrench and turn it counterclockwise until it pops out of the hole in the metal casing.
5. Grab hold of the nut at the top of the heater core and unscrew it from the metal casing.
6. Carefully remove the heater core from the car.
Remove Heater Element
If your car alarm is going off, it’s probably because the heater core has become blocked. The heater core is a metal box that sits under the hood and is filled with hot air. When you turn on the car, the hot air from the engine vents into the heater core and starts to heat up the air. The heater core then sends this heated air out into the car. If there’s something blocking the flow of air into or out of the heater core, it will cause all of the systems in your car to go haywire. Here are four ways to remove a heater core:
1. Use a crowbar or pry bar
2. Use a power drill
3. Use a wrench
4. Use a blowtorch
Reconnect Cooling Fan
The Reconnect Cooling Fan is a small, plastic fan that helps to circulate air in your car. When the fan fails, it can cause the thermostat to overheat and not allow your engine to reach its operating temperature. The Reconnect cooling fan can be removed by following these steps:
1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2) Remove the five screws that hold the cover on.
3) Remove the cover.
4) Unplug the fan connector.
5) Pry up on the clips that hold the fan in place and remove it.
6) Clean all of the parts with a cleaning cloth and dry them off.
7) Reinstall everything in reverse order, making sure to reattach the fan connector before screwing down the cover.
Reconnect Air Vents
If your heater core is not heating up, it’s likely because one or more of the air vents are plugged. Follow these steps to unplug and clean the vent:
1. Open the hood and locate the air vent closest to where the hot air comes out of the furnace.
2. With a flashlight, look inside the vent to see if there are any grime or debris buildup. If so, use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool to remove any material.
3. Close the hood and restart the furnace. The vent should now be able to heat up the room properly.
Reconnect Heater Element
If you experience an issue with your car’s heater, it may be time to replace the core. This is a relatively easy task that can be completed in just a few minutes. Here are the steps:
1. Park your car safely on a level surface.
2. Remove the screws that hold the trim around the heating element to reveal the wiring.
3. Disconnect each wire from the connector and remove them from the heating element.
4. Carefully pull out the heating element from its housing and set it aside.
