What happens here
Before beginning any work, especially on electrical and climate control systems, park the truck on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shorts or accidental airbag deployment. Put on safety glasses and mechanic's gloves. Gather all necessary tools, including socket sets, screwdrivers, interior trim removal tools, and a plastic container for fasteners and small parts.
Goal: Safely prepare the vehicle and workspace for extensive interior disassembly.
