To perform this simple operation, access the compartment where the heater core is located, which is behind the glove box. First, remove the glove box door by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place, as shown in the video. This allows you to pull out the entire glove box. Next, disconnect the connector at the back.

Now, you need to remove the lower panel in front of you to disconnect the connector that powers the heater core. Finally, remove the screws that secure the heater core and pull it out.
