Greetings Listers, I missed out on the original discussion; Forgive me if I'm too late to the party. The Behr controls are simple. If you have the unit I am familiar with, there are two fans, each with a resistor pack whose terminals represent Low, Med and High blower settings. In the original configuration, each fan had it's own switch. Any three-pole switch should work in this application. I note here that my switches got pretty hot on High, and I retro-fitted with relays when the contacts in one of the switches failed. The second control is a rheostat (low-ohm) which "regulates" the temperature by cycling the compressor. 0-ohms = Maximum cold. Here's a link to the Behr manuals for these units which you may find helpful. These also include contacts at Behr. I have had limited success in obtaining parts from them. The original controls may be available. http://www.qadas.com/~kanas/Vehicles/Syncro/Syncro_Index.html *Best Regards, Jon Kanas * > |
