dash

I need to take apart my dash in order to service part of my A/C unit. In past experiences with other cars, figuring out how to take the dash apart is a pain the first time although more times then not its really simple if you know what your doing... can anyone tel me how to take a 92 325i dash apart or maybe a site which would tell me. thanks...

bentley manual explains it in detail. i read the procedure and it did not look like an easy job. the good news is that you don't have to worry about airbags.

What part of the A/C are you working on?

well... before i thought I only had one problem but it appears now that i have 2.

1) the fan only works on the fourth position and I heard something about the use of resistors to decrease the fan speed for setting 1/2/3 and that they need to be replaced?? and also that this is located somewhere in the dash over the passenger side.

2) Heat works fine, however A/C does not..... i know there are several components to the system. how does one go about figuring out which component is bad?

As it turns out, it seems only the fan works (in position 4 only) heat nor a/c appear to work except when the thermostat went, then the heat appeared to work ALL too well....

Any suggestions on where to start my hunt?

If i remember correctly the fan is accessable from the firewall and so are the switch resisters. I know the E30s are that way and i want to say that I had mine out in the E36 too.
