HI,
Okay, once you have the bezel off, remove the six bolts that hold the heater control and radio in place. At this point the whole assembly can be pulled forward about six inches. Reach behind and remove the three sets of plugs that go into the heater unit. There is a locking tab in the top centre of each one, so I found I had to press it, while using a screwdriver on the sides to pry them loose.. they were pretty tight. Then remove the two phillips screws on each side of the heater control unit. Then you can gently pry the metal bracket that the phillips screws were holding tight, and pop the heater control module out. Now you can take it to your favourite workbench, or kitchen table. There are six phillips screws on the back that you need to remove... lift the back up about an inch, and look inside... there is a ribbon cable you should be able to pull straight out of the board.. then you can remove the back completely. At this point, along with the other pictures in these posts, you should be able to do the fix.
Tip: If you don't have great vision (I don't), the most handy "tool" I used was my Lee Valley lighted magnifying lamp thingy... the wires and solder joints are too small for me to work on without a good magnifier.
