Wow, this was an old thread. Dash removal the first time can take a little while. There are a lot of parts that need to be removed for it to come out.
Butime Dennis mentioned dash does not need to be removed for heater core.[This message has been edited by Spadesluck (edited 06-24-2019).]

Yes he did ("ou do not have to remove the dash to get to the heater box control doors") but I am STILL looking for an answer. Exactly HOW does one get access to the control doors? My meechanic, who wasn't born when they made my '85 SE Fiero, says the dash has to come off, and that that alone would be 4 hours work.
It may be an old thread, but I try to find a relevant one before starting a new one. Makes less of a messy forum. And yes, I do send beer money to the forum.

Can you remind us of which function is not operating in your heater box, please?
It sounds like your mechanic Really does not want to do this job; that happens with our Fiero's. Sadly, my 1987 and 1988 Fiero GM service manuals do not seem to cover our version of the heater box (with electric motors) or I would send it to you to show your mechanic. Looking at my car, one motor seems accessible without removing the dash, there may be another behind the radio that is not and possibly one on top. The control box above your radio may actually be the source of the failure as I've read of members here changing that. I do not remember any mention of a electric motor problem in the heater box itself.
Wish one of the knowledgeable members here would chime in since my car has never had this problem before.
Here is what your car looks like without the dash :

Jane, it takes 30 minutes to remove the dash once you have done it a few times. The first post in this thread is a step-by-step which you can show your mechanic.

Speakers are replaced by carefully prying up on the speaker grilles on the dash. They simply pop out. Then the speaker can be replaced/upgraded.
As Rexgirl posted above, that big black box is the heater/ac box. Once the dash is off, it will be in plain sight.[This message has been edited by IMSA GT (edited 07-06-2019).]
