loose as part of the wiring harness.

Remove Outer Baffles and Blower
Housing
1. Disconnect the wire leads from the start switch
on the blower housing (if so equipped).
Disconnect the plug from the rectifier-regulator.
Use the tip of the dipstick or a similar small flat
tool to bend the locking tang, then remove the B+
terminal from the center position in the plug. See
Figure 9-26. This will allow the blower housing to
be removed without disturbing the wiring
harness.
