how in the heck do the ac controls disconnect
in detail please

 

nevermind, i had a wire come out of the fan control side but i finally got the harness disconnected for it and the wire went back in to the harness and stayed. still cant figure out the blend door, but i have enough room to remove the radio.

 

Three connectors at the top of the center dash panel. Easy to snap out.

I have a Shaker 1000 now, Can't remember my 500, but I think it's just two connectors on the bottom for the A/C controls.

Anyway, yeah, one just pulls out. The other has this frustrating hinge contraption that locks down and has to be released and articulated to pull the plug.

It's a pretty cool little plug, just unfeasible to access it easily for removal.
