I removed the climate control assembly to troubleshoot and replace, and turned the heat selection dial by mistake that turns two shafts that the climate control assy
engages with reinstalled. How do I realign the shafts property so that when the dial indicates where the air is going , that it is aligned properly?

MODERATOR NOTE: If you are re-installing your climate control module and cannot get it to go back in, see post 4!

Turn the square spindles that stick out from the firewall and set them the middle click position. Then turn the ***** so that they are vertical. Then slide them together which is easier said than done. You well see that one of the square shafts is longer than the other, slide that one on first. It is a tricky job though keeping the square spindles in position.
Good luck.

I completely agree with onehundedr80's feedback above. I made getting the shafts re-inserted into their respective spindles a little easier by using some split corrugated wire loom to extend the spindles for re-alignment. Took me a couple of tries, but worked like a champ & no need to remove the wire loom afterwards. Something that also might help is to remove the center console HVAC vent located directly above. Gives you some improved visibility & access when re-installing the HVAC Control Module.

Boy oh boy, we have some smart people on this forum, great idea.

WOW. I never thought of that.

Yes! Great idea! Just make sure the keyway is aligned on the two shafts. They are not forced but if so without alignment, you sure do not want to break the sockets at the firewall side of those shafts. Just an FYI reminder.
