[DML] So much for fixing...

["Ed Garbade" <edgarbade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well I took my car to a shop willing to take a shot at fixing my AC (the 
last shop I went too said he would look at it to see "if it was worth his 
time").  In the process he removed my console to get access to some pipe (he 
had my shop manual).  When refilling my AC with R12 the high pressure line 
blew.  So now I have no AC and...

-  The console is not properally reinstalled.
-  The right window switch sticks in the up position.
-  The door lock light stays on (but at least the light behind the hazzard 
switch goes off/on with the doors locked/unlocked).
-  The radio operates the power antenna, has some lights illuminated, the 
display is dead (time and station), and I have no sound.
-  The defrost switch won't move/operate.
-  The throttle sticks a bit since it now idles at 1500 RPMs.  If I tap the 
accelerator it goes back to around 800.

This is what I have found so far.

All that said, I really am not interested in assigning blame.  I am 
interested in fixing my problems.  Some are likely easy like swapping the 
connectors for the hazzard light and the door lock light.  The radio (it is 
the origional I assume since it has DMC on it) bothers me because it 
partially works.

What I am asking for is any thoughts of what to look for, tips on removing 
the console, things to look out for, etc...  This will help me help the shop 
fix it right.

I have the shop manual but would perfer more details and/or photos if 
available.

Thanks for the help in advance.
