SIMPLIFY your dash removal '09-'14 F-150

Some procedures to keep in mind when removing the 2014 F-150 dashboard. Not a complete walk-through, but some pointers you'll use!

Ty for taking the time to show us. Blessings from above

[@brettpontiac]

theres actually 3 upper bolts on the left side one in the upper l h corner corner

[@notamechan1c]

@brettpontiac you're right, I forgot to mention that corner bolt. 😅

[@quinnerd88]

With this removal of the dash. Did you notice if it would be possible to remove the evaporator coil with out removing the steering wheel?

[@notamechan1c]

Yes, the steering wheel and airbag can stay attached to the column. But the column coupler bolt does need to be removed.

@@notamechan1c great to hear, I’m getting ready to tackle the dash here shortly. I tried to replace the expansion valve first and that did not work so now it is on the evaporator

[@bearing_aficionado]

​@quinnerd88 I have the same problem. My nephew (who works as a mechanic but more on the management side) and I was replacing the expansion valve and we crushed the high side line on the evaporator core trying to put the new valve back on. Now I have to replace the core. So pissed right now. This is a job I do not have the skill or patience for. Absolutely stupid why the car manufacturers designed something where you have to remove the entire dash to replace items that may need serviced or replaced?

[@lukashsk]

That recirc door is such a bad design :/ the actuators seem to lose position, keep spinning until they break the door inside the air duct. I really hope I can replace that pulling the dash this way, it seems a lot easier 🤞

[@LPerez]

I've done the heater core before, and now need to replace that stupid recirculating door as well. Feel this is much "easier" then the two other videos of them stuggling for hours.

​@@LPerez Agreed, that's why I searched how to remove the dash lol

[@lakelousiemarco]

Seems time consuming. I can get to mine by removing just the head unit

[@sacrenough]

Big agree. You can even go under the head unit from the passenger side

[@TW1STedDiLLiGaF]

I've done mine twice by just removing the center section / head unit also.

[@eschrader]

Did you make a video of it? Everyone else goes under the passenger glovebox and struggles

[@lakelousiemarco]

@ there are lots of videos of it already on KZbin. Just search blend door actuator replacement for 09-12 F150’s

[@bsmith85282]

@@lakelousiemarco I thought there were multiple actuators and one was down below near the footwell and one was above behind the stereo.

[@Turkeyfry100]

Where’s your shop located I need a mechanic lol! Seriously
