It is time to pull the dash out of the Rav4 to fix those darn heater doors. While we have everything apart it is a good time to clean everything and fix the tears in the seats. So you can also learn about seat cover replacement in this video. There are lots of parts and wires that like to put up a fight but it is really not as bad as some dashes I have pulled. Using lots of shortcuts really helps to make this job a little more manageable. For those that read the description and also wondered if I consult manuals before attempting a job like this, the answer is," no." I figure it out as I go, reading the manual doesn't give you shortcuts, it has you remove unnecessary parts and not always in the best order. So while other techs are still reading, I am half way though the dash removal. After you have removed a few hundred dashboards, you learn that they are all pretty similar, there are no surprises anymore, the magic is gone.... :( You don't always plan on things like this in rebuilds but you have to accept that there will always be more work than you planned.

You have to admit it, whether it's a 2003 or 2015 ,the dash is the dash on a Toyota. They all tear down the same. From the center console to the dash, heater and ac. With few extra plugs for the new electronics. The only real difference is how many clips you break 😂. The older the Toyota, the more you break.

Excellent job. and excellent narration of the process. Top score. Remove and replace time, at minimum 12 hours, and quite likely had it been a TOYOTA dealer doing the job it would take them 18 hours and a minimum $2000, and possibly more knowing that a TOYOTA dealer will charge 'like a wounded bull' For the inexperienced, inattentive and impatient, the task is full of pitfalls. Reassembly in an incorrect sequence, installing the wrong bolts/screws in the wrong location, or forgetting to install some, incorrect connection or failing to reconnect the wiring harness connectors, ... Then discovering after re-assembly that there are either parts leftover or some electrical function no longer operates. Brings back memories of fault-finding a problem and disassembling' components on bowu=ing 747 at Andrews AFB, back in the mid 1970s. The job took 15 engineers two weeks to diagnose and rectify the problem. and at great expense. It was also discovered that there were quite a few 'Fake' Non-Genuine BOEING parts in the spare-parts store. NOT GOOD... Especially if POTUS is a passenger.

I have to thank you for this. I had a candy gum up the box and was quoted ridiculous amounts to fix it. I’m handy but not a mechanic. I went for it and it was relatively easy but I wouldn’t have attempted it without your video. Just label every wire and put everything in the order it comes out on tables with the bolts etc that go with each piece. The hardest bit was figuring out how to disconnect the wire connectors as they all seem different. Went fairly smoothly. Thank you so much for this. You saved me a pile of money! If anyone else does this just label label label every wire- take your time and you’ll be fine. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! (Actually I had to do it twice as the candy was dripping from somewhere else in the box and I failed to discover it the first time. Second time was a walk in the park lol👍)

It helps to have good visual memory! Once you do a few jobs like this, its not as bad. I normally use tackle boxes and bins to keep track of bolts and screws, other mechanics have done repairs enough to just pile them together. Many parts have their specific fasteners, so it makes it simpler to know what they need.

@@vehcor Somewhere around 1997 I saw one beside me in heavy traffic, in a rainstorm, going 35. An accident happened just in front of us, all of the traffic around me managed to stop, except the Rav4 which locked up and slid into the cars in front of us. The company I worked for gave all of us outside sales people a new vehicle every 2 years, those that had the Rav4's had the accidents, those of us with Accords and Pilots didn't. Toyota is probably the King of longevity, in general, so I give them credit for that. No Rav4 for me.

Scott, another very good video. Having pulled the IP out of my Crown Victoria to fix the heater doors, I know what you went through. Yours looked easier as you didn't have to pull the steering column. For those that wonder, due to the amount of labor, fixing or repairing a heater box is well over $1000 in labor alone plus the cost of the box if you need one. I repaired my 'living hinge' with some tie rap hinges... it works and I'm happy. Scott you make it look so easy! The person that owned that Rav 4 must have been a real pig, burn holes in the seats, pop and shit and sticky food everywhere, even in the blower ducts.... Geeze!!! Gross! Scott, you saved a perfectly good cars life again!

1:55 "I need an extension that's 2 feet long" I have a couple. I use em when I'm drywalling ceilings. I put some screws in the corners, and a couple in the middle then walk around on the floor after and do em all. It's easier to do them all if you have a baker (rolling scaffold) but if you are doing it with ladders, it's SO much faster to do the rest from the ground. I did a whole bedroom ceiling myself in the time it took 2 guys in another bedroom. They saw what i was doing and in the next room "hey Mike, can I borrow that"? lol....came back, "where'd you get one that long, I SO have to buy one"!!! I had 2 so I loaned them the second. I said "if I get one more I can roll around the floor in an office chair and do em sitting down lol"

Hey thanks for showing how to remove the dash!!! Very detail and easy to understand. Keep doing Toyota stuff that's what I'm into. Thank you. Subscribe complete.

What a massive job taking the entire dash apart just to get the heater box out. I see why you said "Thanks Toyota". It must have taken you hours to do the job, but pretty obvious that you've done this before, as you knew just what to take out in what order and how to get it all back together again. Nice trick changing the bottom seat covers to restore the seats. Very handy that the parts are readily available. Not long now and the RAV4 will be back on the road again. Catch you next Saturday morning (Australian time) -- unless you get generous and put an extra video up through the week ... hint, hint. All the best from Queensland Australia.

It was about 4 hours and this was the first of this generation I have done. You just kind of figure it out as you go. I would be happy to do more videos per week but I just don’t have time for that and getting my work done. Thanks for watching!

A few months ago i did the same job on my 11 Ford focus, the Evaporator sprung a leak!. I was able the remove the entire dash assembly out of the car instead of disassembling it to get the HVAC unit out. Aside from the heater hoses accessibility and the bolt on the center top of the dash next to the windshield it was a relatively simple job, i just took my time and was methodical about it! ...... You have to be careful using the bumper installation tool on that internal trim, excessive force could shatter the trim and injure Mr. Spotty!!! :-)

My wife's Nissan Rogue had the same issue, it was defective from the factory. I was horrified thinking about what they have to do and if they would put it back together right. So far everything seems okay. Hopefully the mechanic was as thoroughly as you.

Great video, thanks for sharing! I like using the longer screwdrivers also. The short ones are over rated. Now the people out there will know why a shop wants $1,500- $2,000 to replace the heater core. Hope you & your family had a Happy Thanksgiving. Stay safe & healthy. Have a nice weekend! Spoke to ya later, Ka moan.😎
