Great tip you gave me on the defrost/ center flap servo and the recirculation flap servo are the same. So I took the recirc servo and put it where the defrost /center vent servo goes so I could put the dash and stuff back together. Center vent flow is good now.

Also used you trick about turning those dam air bag led's off. Works like a champ.

I bought the heater control valve to install. Any tricks you know of to install it. Looks awful tight in there.

Now the search is on to find a servo for the recirc flap. Those suppliers in cabby-info as you know specialize in mostly new parts. I contacted several of them. Do you know of any salvage yards across the country that I might try? I have tried some but to now avail.

Since I am into this now I am tempted to follow your lead on installing an a/c compressor switch but the wire coming from the heater control assembly looses me. Do you disconnect it and then because you've run it through the cutoff switch , when the cutoff switch is on ,all the a/c positions on the slider for a/c selection operate as normal? Need to think about it more. Good idea though.

Thanks for all the help 8)

Junk Yards are good places for the servo, as they are in the rain tray. The older metal ones are far superior.

a/c cutout. On the bottom side of the heater controls on the right side is the a/c on switch. There are 2 wires with red insulators on them. Those are the two that you move over to the cut out switch.

For the Heater control valve, the best think I can tell you is a good pair of spring clamp pliers, and a pair of hose pinch pliers.
Carefully.... I SAID CAREFULLY note the clip that holds the cable. Take it off by unclipping it at the bottom. IT CAN FLY SO KEEP YOUR HAND ON IT.
IF it does fly, a small wire tie can be used.
Open the radiator res.
Suck out all the fluid.
Pinch the hoses closed on either side, of the valve.
Use the spring clamp pliers to loosen then slide the hoses out.
