Hi, I am a professional certified mechanic, with an engineering background, and 35+ years experience. I will do my best to assist you. At Just Answer the deposit you pay is not payment to the Expert, I only get paid if you click on accept, we receive no other pay. I don't know if you are a pro or a novice so we may have to fine tune the answer. I only know as much about your problem as you have told me in your post, so my answer will be based on what you have posted. Feel free to add any additional info you feel is needed. If you are satisfied with the answer, and feel you can leave a positive feedback please click on accept. I don't get paid unless you do.


The first thing you have to do is to diagnose any problems, then search for the parts you need to repair the issues. One big barrier is the fact that many parts needed for repairs haven't been available from Pontiac for over 3 decades. Some parts can be easily found, others are virtually unobtainable. For these virtually impossible to find parts you will need to do some searching and possibly place some want adds. Places like an auto salvage called Franks Pontiac Parts, will often be able to help. There is a publication called Hemmings Motor News, and it is used globally to buy and sell hard to find classic car parts. I have frequently placed want adds in Hemmings and found tough to locate classic car parts. Ebay is also a good place to find classic car parts. You have to check back frequently to find hard to find pieces. Sometime it takes months to find rare parts. You can get an original Pontiac parts manual, and look up the part number of the parts you need, and search the internet for the part by the part numbers. When car manufacturers discontinue parts, they are sold to private individuals. These parts are known as NOS (new old stock) and are frequently listed by part number on the internet. When I am looking for an nos part I normally type in NOS, and the part number in the search on the net.

So where to start......check it all out, and determine what parts are needed to repair the climate control system. Get the part numbers and search, or try Pontiac auto salvages that specialize in classic Pontiac parts. Once you find the parts reassemble it and you will be ready to go. If you have any more questions I am here to help. Good luck, and Thanks for using Just Answer.

I reread the question, and I now understand what you are asking. Is it the control panel you want to remove, or are there other parts you want toe disassembly directions for. If you have any more questions I am here to help. Good luck, and Thanks for using Just Answer.
