I just now got to the point where I could lift the heater core of my 90
clear of its mounts... except for one thing: the wires that power and
control the heater motor.
Is there a connector I am not seeing? Do most people just cut them and
solder them back later?
I read everything I could find on the list about removing the dash and
heater, and because of that information it was a very quick job, no problems
at all. Until these wires!
Also, what is the tall silver electronic box that bracket to the crossmember
behind the blove box and just to the right of the heater plenum? It has a
bunch of wires going to it.
Jim, the ground wire has to come off the grounding rosette above the fuse
box. And, the power wire to the switch terminal block has to be cut and
reconnected with a butt connector or its spade terminal end popped out of the
switch terminal block with a small probe. The electronic box may be the cruise
control brain unless someone else put something else in there.
Please note that I will be away from my business travelling in Mexico from
November 19, 2007 until April 30, 2008. Parts orders will be processed
although not as quickly as usual. I will always be available for contact by E-mail.
If you phone your call will be addressed by Greg T. Brown here and he will
either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail. Details
