I have a 2004 Malibu and trying to remove the radio/defrost control console
Remove the center console. The module will be in front of console under dash
A pressure augmented defrost control is activated by sensing the pressure differential between the evaporator and the condenser coils. When this pressure difference reaches a set point, the control initiates the defrost cycle to remove any accumulated frost on the coils. This activation helps optimize the system efficiency and prevent frost build-up.
it should if you have the heater control in the defrost position this is to remove the moisture from the air
hard work
If this is the condenser that is frozen, you have a problem with the defrost cycle. There are 2 things that need to be checked, the defrost sensor and the defrost control board. More than likely it is the defrost control board that is the problem and of course that is the more costly of the 2.
A defrost timer is typically used to control the defrost cycle in a domestic freezer. This timer switches the freezer from cooling mode to defrost mode at set intervals to prevent ice build-up.
Remove shelves from refrigerator compartment. remove screw from bottom of the control panel and ease panel bottom forewards then carefully downwards. This will allow the overhead panel to slide back and clear front clips and drop down sufficiently to give access to defrost timer.
how to remove console 2006 ford 500
The 2005 Chrysler 300 rear window defrost relay switch can be found beneath the drivers side dashboard. The rear window defrost relay switch will be near the center console.
Remove the battery terminals first. Then the control module is located behind the instrument panel on the left side of the console.
The guy at the local transmission repair shop told me it sits on top of the engine control module. You have to remove the console to get to it.
Underneath the driver side dashboard, near the center console, is a plastic control knob with a metal wire/bar connector that is attached to the main directional control knob (defrost, vent, floor vent select knob) on the center console. The metal wire/bar will sometimes pop off the plastic control knob, so when you turn the main control you're not actually re-directing the forced air to the selected vents. Re-attached the metal wire/bar to the plastic control knob and should fix the problem.
