[Shotimes] EATC buttons

[Chris "Zap"]

Does anyone know if the climate manual for the climate control has any
details or schematics on the EATC unit?  Otherwise it might just be a game
of hooking up a switch and seeing what it does when pressed, or held down
and pressing other buttons.  If anyone has a Vent button that they don't
want for the old-style EATC I would be interested in it, as that is the only
button on Joy's car that is broken through.  Maybe I'll just epoxy the rest
of them if possible.  Of course the clutch is probably a more present
concern...
