how do i get the dang thing off to replace it

 

Is it one of those that glue on to the pan with some silicone? If so, A razor blade will do the trick.

 

0230 and I'm bored so I looked up the heater you are talking about.

Removal= Razor blade as stated above.

Start on 1 corner to get started and then pull down on the lose end then carfully use the blade to scrape it off the pan. I've done this hundreds of times on many different vehicles and the heaters can be reused as long as the cord isn't pulled out or the element dammaged.

 

Ok thank you
I never had one on a vehicle till this one. of course its -30c out and it didn't work
me being silly for not checking sooner
