So in the process of replacing the bulb on my outside temp gauge, I managed to break the tabs holding the hazard switch on and one of the fins on the cover to the interior temp sensor...great :/



Anyways, also in the process I pulled the hose that goes to the behind that cover and the rubber hose popped off from deep in the dash....where does this hose connect to? I couldn't see very with the limited space of only taking the thin dash trim piece off but I still couldn't see where I have to connect it to. Is this something I should be able to reconnect or will it involve tearing the dash apart even more?



Only good news from the project is I can see my temp gauge in the dark now <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

It connects to the dash to the little round thing that has a grille on it in the front at the dash, and in the rear (towards the firewall), it goes way back there. It would probably be easiest to remove the glove box to hook it back up if you can't get back there. The glove box just has screws holding it in.











Hope this helps.

Helps greatly...thanks, and no wonder I couldn't see where it connects since from the angle I was looking, it would be below the ducting.

Yeah just pull the glove box and it's easy to fix. When you do that use a tie-wrap to support it about half way down. Mine shrunk a little bit over 20 years so it is inclined to pull off with very little effort.

did he really just say that his hose shrank years ago, and now it pulls off with little effort?
