Default Is there anything I should check/look while I have my dash out? (Blue to Black swap)

Yup, I hate the Palmy Blue Intr. that Acura gave my 90 DA,

So I have come down to the last part of the Blue to Black intr swap, the dash.

Well I'm swapping the dash in the morning, And I figured I'd ask

Is there anything I should look at/for, and/or Check while the dash is out?

I'm going to clean the vents etc... but is there anything else?

Thanks, Jose

Well, if you need a new heater core or any wiring solved, this is the best time to do it.

You could drop your blower motor fan and clean it out completely when you clean the vents.

Anything else would be on a have-to-be-there-and-see-it-with-your-own-two-eyes basis. If something obviously looks wrong, fix it.

And keep in mind, Mice and spiders living under your dash is not JDM. So if that **** is under your dash, get rid of it with the quickness.

Hahaha

Clean the crap out of your new dash, armor all it real good in all the hard to reach places you might not be able to get to later once its in. Clean the vents and everything, I think you get the general idea.. good luck

Check your dash harness, make sure that you don't have any burnt wires or frys in the harness!

i would check the heater core and the coolant hoses that flow into it. make sure they're not breaking up cause it'll leak later.
