The instruction associated with the procedure of the removal and installation of the heater and air conditioning control assembly is appropriate for Baja, Legacy, and Outback models manufactured between 2000 and 2004. In regard to antenna knob, cruise control switch, fog light switch and windshield wiper de-icer switch, loosen the fastening of switch panel from the instrument panel, remove wiring connectors and turn off the switches by pressing the locking flap against housing. During installation, deep the switch into the panel until you hear a click, and installation is the same as the removal process. For the hazard flasher switch, first, an Instrument cluster trim panel must be removed, and the electrical connector that connects it must be disconnected, then there will be two retaining screws, they must be removed so that the switch is dismounted from the mounting bracket, and it must be placed back in the same manner, to fit perfectly. On the 2005 and later models for the illumination brightness control switch, option for incremental signals, remote control mirror switch, windshield wiper de-icer switch and for the Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF switch all these can be accessed by removing the lower cover and the connectors are located at the left extremity of the instrument panel. The hazard flasher switch is located at the radio/heater and air conditioning control assembly; excluding the console and radio is necessary before disconnecting the switch. For Forester models, the fog light switch and rear window de-icer switch are installed at the left end of the instrument panel while the hazard flasher switch and the rear window defogger switch of the2000 through 2002 are placed at the middle of the dash whereby it would require the center panel to be pulled out as a way of replacing. In the models of 2003 and later, the hazard flasher switch occurs in the central region of the instrument panel; it means that one has to get rid of the central panel to get at it.
