Can you fix a windshield wiper switch and heater core at the same time in a 98 s10?

My heater core and windshield wiper switch need to be replaced. If I'm already taking out the dash for the heater core would it be easy enough to do the wiper switch at the same time?

SOURCE: how do you get to the heater core in a chevy s10

Passenger side bottom of heater box remove bolt. Engine side on fire wall behind distributor remove nut. Now, on top of evaporator box remove small plate with wires on it. Look inside, remove that bolt. The heater box will come out. There are only 2 bolts and 1 nut to hold box in place.

SOURCE: 1990 Chevy Silverado 1500 How do you change Heater Core?

No it's on the passenger side in a plastic container that has to have the screws removed to get to it, there is one other place the put it depending on AC setup and that’s in the center of the consol the easiest way to find it is follow the heater line hoses from the water pump to the firewall and that is where the heater core is at but as I said normally they are incased in plastic on the passenger side inside the engine compartment.

SOURCE: I have a 97 chevy s10 4.3 v6 4x4. my heater core

Sorry, your going to have to remove the dash.

  • Remove the front dash panel by turning the lower screws in a counter-clockwise direction, then unscrewing the single bolt on the lip of the instrument cluster and pulling the panel out. Remove the rear wiper switch and the 4x4 switches, if applicable. Lowering the tilt wheel will allow the panel to be totally removed.
  • Remove the radio, headlight switch module and glove box by turning their screws in a counter-clockwise direction.
  • Remove the main dashboard by unbolting it at the front, between the windshield and firewall. There are six to eight bolts holding it in, and, once they are removed, the dash can be pulled away from the firewall. Be careful not to pull too much, as the wiring harness could become damaged.
  • Drain the coolant system by turning the drain plug on the lower left corner of the radiator and allowing the fluid to fall into the drain pan. Uncapping the radiator can reduce the internal pressure.
  • Remove the heater core hose, on the upper left of the engine bay by pinching their hose clamps with a pair of pliers and pulling them off. Some models will have screw-type hose clamps; turning them counter-clockwise will loosen them. Age and heat may have stuck the hoses to the core nipples, and the hoses can be cut right at these nipples if necessary. Leave enough hose to reconnect the new core.
  • Unbolt the heater core's mounts with a socket wrench in a counter-clockwise direction. Once the bolts are free, the heater core can be maneuvered toward the windshield and slid out. Some coolant may splash out, so have a towel handy.
  • Replace the heater core with a new one by sliding it into place and securing the mounting bolts.
  • Reconnect the heater core's hoses, turn the radiator's drain plug clockwise to close it, then refill the coolant system with a 50/50 percent mix of coolant and water.
  • Reconnect the dashboard to the firewall, then replace the front dash panel and fasten its instrument cluster screw and bottom bolts.
  • Crank up the Jimmy and add coolant until the heater core is filled and blowing hot air.
  • Replace the radiator cap.
Good luck and make sure you have lots of time and use the camera on your cell phone and take pictures to use as reference.

SOURCE: How do you remove the windshield wiper arms

The wiper arms have a push in tab at the very bottom at the fitting that is pressed into the wiper linkage below the screen. Use a flat headed screwdriver to pry out the tab. Once out the arm can be pulled right off. Now you can remove the cowling screen

I just replaced the heater core in my 98 expedition and now I have no power windows or windshield wiper's any answers?

As you have already experienced, replacing the heater core is a really big job.
Somehow the wiring has been disrupted and you have either knocked a body plug loose, or have disconnected a harness plug. (The body plugs are the plugs that go from the engine to the cabin inside, or visa-versa.)
You might be cable to solve the puzzle by retracing your steps that you took in each movement.
God bless your efforts.

Heater core is leaking on the floor

I had the same problem with my 2001 Mercury Marquis, but it wasn't the heater core, it was the compartment for the condensate drain for the air conditioning and the compartment to catch the rain water that comes down the windshield and drains through the windshield wiper cowling. You have to take off windshield wiper on passenger side and cowling underneath the wiper of the passenger side and you will see a screen over in the corner and that's where the box is for the drain. so much trash was down in there that the flapper wouldn't open to let the water out. Ours only leaked when it rained, but it looked like it could have been the heater core. Good luck.

How to remove heater core in a 98 blazer

You have to remove the dash in layers. There's a whole bunch of screws to take out. The heater core is located in the middle of the dash near windshield when you get that far. There are a couple of brackets that hold the heater core in place, remove the heater hoses and pull out heater core. It's quite a long process so give yourself plenty of time.
