    EATC Repair

    Took some pictures while doing the EATC o-ring replacement.

    The OEM o-rings were square and hard (I know... TWSS). Had to break them to get the off.

    Pictures of the OEM o-ring (black) and the new silicone o-ring (orange). You might be able to see the OEM o-ring is square, not round.




    This is how the piston, spring and rod go together.



    BTW... I never remove the piston and spring.

    Open the front passenger side door.

    Grasp the center / fax carbon fiber trim, pull towards you.

    Work the trim loose as you move towards the steering wheel.

    Loosen the trim below the EATC.

    Once you have the trim off, disconnect the connector for the clock, if you have a 2003 Marauder, and disconnect the connector for the rear defrost button.

    Remove the 4 screws that secure the EATC with a 7mm socket or nutdriver.

    Pull out the EATC.

    Disconnect the 2 electrical connectors at the rear of the EATC.

    Using a 10mm socket or nutdriver, remove the 2 nuts that secure the vacuum connector to the rear of the EATC.

    Store the center trim panel in a safe place so it doesn't get damaged.

    Plug the vacuum supply hose.

    You can drive the car, just no control of the heat or A/C.

    His directions were straight to the point, and easy lol. I'm looking forward to doing more business with him in the near future.
