How To Find An Replace A/c Evaporator On 1999 Ls400

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any threads or info on how to locate and replace evaporator on 1999 LS400. I believe you have to remove the entire dash, but not sure. Any help or tutorial on this?

Thanks for any help

Steve,

Thanks for the post. The only concern is that my year is different than the one on this thread. If I can get the evaporator out by only removing the glove box, that would be great. I heard you had to take entire dash off. Does anyone know if you can do it like what's in this thread from an earlier year, i.e, through glove box.
