• Q: How to service and repair the air duct on 2002 Ford Thunderbird?

  A: Service and repair the air duct through these steps: use a flat blade tool to push the inboard side tab on the left-hand and right-hand panel registers; pull back the register while also pushing in the outboard tab until complete removal. The right-hand panel is similar to the left-hand operation. First detach the plenum chamber then loosen the screws which secure the defroster duct. Take off the driver side support brace by removing its screws before moving on to position the driver side panel duct away from the driver side demister duct screw. The driver side demister duct screw must be removed first with its accompanying duct then the passenger side demister duct screw and its duct must be taken out. Remove the passenger side panel duct inner screw first followed by the outer screw and lastly detach the center panel duct together with the driver side panel duct through screw removal steps. Pull out the panel duct by rotating it through the opening position located at the instrument panel side. The correct procedure for reassembly requires executing the reverse steps of disassembly.
