On my '85 (as I've brought up on this list a few times) the outside air cannot ever be shut off entirely making our vans feeble air conditioning work that much harder. I have resolved this by stuffing the outside air intake with foam packing material for the hot months, removing it in the cold months when I need the fresh air to heat for winter. One of these days I'm going to disassemble the dashboard and find out what's goin on in there, maybe this winter as my fresh air fan is squeaking and probably not long for this world. Donald Baxter
