do mechanics have ways to diagnose the possible problem without yanking the dash?

Default heater core

The moisture in the engine compartment is clear with no sign of antifreeze. What now?

I would hope so. I ran a bottle of liquid copper through my radiator for a leaky heater core (awaiting the thread bashing...). My dash, like so many 2nd gens, is cracked up pretty good, I'm 100% positive if they had to remove it to fix the heater core I wouldn't have a dash to put back.

Heater core needs replace

Heater core partially clogged or blend door not working correctly. I think neater core.
