Hi all! First time post here. Does anyone have a diagram showing how to remove the rear center console and rear evaporator? I have an AC leak from the rear evaporator area. You can actually hear the R134a leaking when charged. Once I can expose the rear evaporator, I'll be able to see the leak as I used a UV dye during the last fill. All I know so far is that the rear control panel pulls off as its held in with clips. After that, I don't have any info. I didn't want to tear into it before seeing what is involved from start to finish. Also, anyone has experience changing this out?

Did it! Removed the rear HVAC unit (blower, heater core and evaporator core). What a pain. Took about 2 hours. There was a leak in the actual evaporator core. I was hoping it was just an o-ring but when I UV tested the system, no leaks at any visible spot. Since I could hear and smell the leak from the rear vents, I knew the only thing left was the rear evaporator core and sure enough, UV dye coming from the bottom corner. Bad news is I had to put the car back together so my wife could use the car, less the rear HVAC unit. When the new part comes in, I get to do it all over again. 😥
