I found the FSM (digital version) section on blower motor removal for my '88 Dakota -- but I cannot seem to locate the section in the FSM on removing the dash section required to get to the blower motor. If anyone has that or has the written instructions on this, that would be great. I know it's a pretty straight forward procedure, but I do not want to get ahead of myself and guess in a spot and the regret it after breaking some plastic trying to remove something that isn't mean to come off in that order. Thanks.

 

If you mean the lower dash, it's in the instrument cluster area.

Specifically, check pages 8E-14 to 8E-16 for how to remove it.

That must be why I cannot find the instructions, those pages are completely blacked out, the entire section. If anyone has those pages digitally or knows where I can locate them, that would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

 

I'd complain to where you got the FSM from.

In the good news - those steps are the exact same for 1995 and 1996 Dakotas, and the FSMs for those are here in the FAQs (well, links to them!) Download one of those, peruse Section 8E, and see what turns up.

(I'm not at my house, where my extraction tools are, or I'd just pull those pages out.)

Bingo. This is what I needed, thank you Ralph.
