Great video! How many more hours to remove evaporator and replace? Getting ready to replace the evaporator and heater core

[@zeusruger3588]

That’s insane, damn I almost bought 1 today but there’s a gnarly crack going across the dash 😢 I’m torn because I’m not gonna replace that thing but it looks bad 😢

[@domattaccount3213]

Can you post the video of the non-nav dash swap? That’s what I have and what I need

[@Avalonautogroup]

It’s the same process.

[@McGurble]

I honestly can't see what's wrong with the old dash. Was it cracked somewhere?

[@Avalonautogroup]

Yes, it was cracked in multiple places. Not the worst, but cracked.

[@joev1779]

Need your help! The wire with the pink tape at 6:29 can you PLEASE tell me where it connects? I replaced my evaporator and couldn't find the connector it plug into. Now I have a airbag light. Thank you!

[@Avalonautogroup]

I don’t think that wire has to do with the airbag light. Off the top of my head I don’t remember where it plugs into. For the airbag light, I’d double check both sides of the passenger airbag clips. And the clockspring airbag clips. On one recently I knocked one of those off the passenger side and had to partially remove again to get it connected. I am swapping another next week and make a note of that connection with the pink tape on it. I think that connects down by the passenger floor/center console area.

[@joev1779]

@Avalonautogroup Thanks Will do. I went so slow just couldn't locate thst wire. Appreciate your reply!

[@joev1779]

@Avalonautogroup ugh. I left both airbag wires off I guess I'm pulling the dash again No way to get them back on now?

[@joev1779]

​@Avalonautogroup got em both connected without removing the dash! Pulled ac vent and the was easy to get to I appreciate your help!

[@c.a.nixiii4650]

Cool! But so much to go wrong putting that all back. One issue and you have the take the whole thing out again. Did a Coverlay and then suede layover cover on top that that. looks nice and took 2 hours and $400. Or just the layover cover for $75.

[@davidmiller3128]

Terrific video. I have one of these coming up in my future and this will really help. Thanks!

[@stevefairfull9912]

This is a great video! at what point in the removal, is the driver side blend door actuator accessible? I think mine is bad, hence the stream of cold air on the driver side, while the rest of the heat works.

[@MushraMzx]

How much does a job like this cost? Both self and by a mechanic. And where do you recommend purchasing one?

[@Avalonautogroup]

I’d recommend ordering the dash from your nearest Lexus dealer. Or call to confirm part number and find online. I believe the dealer books this job around 10 hours.

[@calvic23]

Do you have the part number for the non-nav dash?

[@wrussell4050]

Good Job! Much Appreciated!

[@jarmolade]

Great video! Are the new dashes less prone to cracking than the original ones?

[@Ac22768]

No

[@carolynpeacock8899]

How much is it to replace the 2004 Lexus gx470 dash ?

[@Avalonautogroup]

Dashes are just under $700. Plus 4 hours labor.

[@luisrengifo8518]

More less what would be the labor cost. thanks@@Avalonautogroup

[@elijuh3]

Don’t you have to disconnect the battery bc of the airbags?

[@Avalonautogroup]

Yes, battery disconnect negative with the steering wheel all the way down in acc, that way the steering wheel stays low.

[@elijuh3]

@@Avalonautogroup thanks! I’m actually trying to do this rehab on the cheap but keeping quality high. Trying to actually restore the dash I have.

[@doriancrayy7707]

I was looking for an OEM Lexus Dash, but I don’t know which color to select. I have the exact same DASH that you do. What color is yours?

[@Ac22768]

Taco Bell.
