Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Air Delivery
With ignition switch in RUN position, voltage is applied through instrument panel fuse to A/C-heater control panel. Operating mode is determined by buttons on control panel. Ground signals determine which air valves are to be operated, as well as the position of the temperature valve. A vacuum/electric solenoid contains solenoid valves that control vacuum actuators. When solenoids are de-energized, the valves vent the actuators, allowing actuator to return to vent position.
