[Shotimes] EATC Question

[James White]

Not quite right.  The EATC will go to full heat when the outside sensor is
shorted out, in my case with water.  This short causes the outside temp to
read -40F.  The EATC then fires up and goes to max heat, unless you have
selected the "Max Cool" on the EATC buttons.

My sensor gets wet occasionally and does this.  It did it all they way from
Chicago to Tulsa for the convention.  The Oklahoma heat helped it dry out
and it functioned normally on the way home.

Would like to replace it, but I have just never found the time to get one
from the salvage yard and replace it.  Likely I will wear out the '95MTX
before I do...

"double clutch"  it's good for both you and your SHO
