A/C System Schematic and Vacuum Control Chart:






a. The vacuum selector valve directs source vacuum to various vacuum control motors.
b. Two internal single.pole electrical switches are also controlled by the selector. The combination of these electrical switches controls the electrical supply to the A/C clutch and the heater blower motor switch.
2. A heater blower motor switch - an electrical switch that provides four speeds of A/C blower motor operation.
3. The temperature control knob - controls the position of the A/C electronic door actuator motor mounted on the A/C evaporator housing assembly.
a. The temperature control knob is electrically connected to the A/C air temperature control door by the A/C electronic door actuator motor.
b. Movement of the control knob from COOL to WARM causes a corresponding movement on the temperature blend door and determines the temperature that the system will maintain.
