I need to know how to take the dash board apart with out breaking it to change the radio and then also will i lose my keyless entry thanks Harold

Are you sure that you need a blower switch? There are other items that are prone to going out before the switch like the resistor or the motor, but if it is the switch you first remove the large piece of trim that surrounds the radio, heater controls, and instrument cluster. This will reveal the screws that hold the heater control head into the dash.

Check your brake switch at break pedal.

He shorted it you will need to take it to a garage

PT Cruiser Dash Light Instrument Cluster Removal and Replacement

it could possibly be one of the tailight globes shorting internally try taking out the double filiment globes to see if it changes anything

your theft /locking and keyless entry is behind the radio. I think that is your problem

atxhonda is right. Your going to have to replace the stereo and an aft mkt stereo will be the cheapest by far, however you should know that 96-00 Civics keyless entry control unit is inside the factory unit and by replacing it with an aftermarket deck you will lose you factory keyless entry system. If you don't have or use honda factory keyless entry or maybe you have an aft mkt keyless entry installed than I would go with the aft mkt deck.

BY ANY CHANCE HAS THERE BEEN ANY RADIO INSTULATION LATELY... OTHER THAN THAT LOOK ON LEFT LOWER KICK PANEL UNDER DASH.. GM HAD PROBLEMS WITH A GROUND SCREWED TO SHEET METAL... THE SCREW WORKS IT'S WAY LOOSE LET ME KNOW

go to the parts store and but the radio removal tools- you dont have to take any part of the dash apart... the radio pulls right out with the special tool
