1997 expedition

R&R Heater core; disconnected bulkhead wiring harness under hood.Going inside to bulkhead wiring connector, pulling on handle to disconnect harness,will not come disconnected. All three connecters were loose under hood. Pulled instrument on right side back far enough to bearly have room to get the core out. Why wouldn,t the connecter come loose!!! any body have this problem!!

Hi Billy and welcome

If I remember right there are some tabs that hold the connector to the firewall. I think you have to release them from in the engine compartment.

Send for the instructions, dont remove bulkhead harness.
Unnecessary labor. Hope I caught you in time.
email me for the instructions how to replace heater core on 97 F150 and Expeditions, very step by step and leaves out what the dealer mechs skip too.

T/U I would like to see your instructions on the Exp. I usually stay away from some work,I stay busy as it is, but it was some body that didn,t have a lot of money so I helped them out.I did pull it out for enough to get the top off,heater core came right out after the I pulled the blend door out.Billy
