[Shotimes] Blend Door Question

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Jacob:
 I don't want to make more work for you but consider changing the heater
core while your in there. If you car has not had regular coolant flushes and
changes the core will have sludge build up as well as damage from corrosion.
The part is cheap the labor to install is not!

> Okay, Jacob, you've got a job ahead of you.  You'll have to move the dash
> aft about a foot or so.   The bad news is that it may take 1-4 days,
> depending on how fast you move.  The good news is, it's not rocket
science.
> Providing you carefully bag and mark every screw, bolt, and nut that you
> remove in the process, and get them all back on in the return process, you
> should come out without a huge bill or a hospital stay.  (Ask George
Fourchy
> about those consequences.)  Follow the directions in the Helm manual and
ask
> us any questions left over.  Take your time, be methodical, and you'll be
> okay.

> The blend-door MOTOR is mounted on top of the heater box, where the blend
> door pivots.  It's a black box about the size of a box of cigarettes.
> Its job is to accept open/shut commands from the EATC head unit, and to
> report blend-door position back to EATC.  If the blend-door motor fails,
you
> have to pull the dash to replace it.
