I figured the word naked would get some more hits. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)
Anyway, I've got a link here to a picture of my relay board. Now I've been racking my brain for the past week or so trying to track down the problem that's causing my heater fan not to work (as its going to get cold here in the next week or so). Now if I'm reading diagrams correctly, then my relay board is missing a relay for the heater fan. Take a look and let me know if I'm right. I don't need the relay for the rear window defogger, but how about the other relays, should my car not be running? I've got a 76 that the previous owner converted to dual webbers. Other parts that are kind of important that currently don't work are horn and fresh air blower. Am I lucky enough to just be missing the relay for all three?

Thanks.
I'm not needing it for the heat, as much as the defrost. |

Thanks. I'm not needing it for the heat, as much as the defrost. The fan only does any real good at dle speeds. Anything above that and the engine cooling fan starts to overcome anything that the heater blower motor puts out. We just had a thread about this a month or two ago. I know where you're coming from though. It's colder for you in the winter than it is for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) If I could fix mine easily enough I would. Not a real priority for me though. But let us know when you figure it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I have tried it both ways and I can tell you that the heater blower motor does help (a lot), once the temps get below 20 degrees! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) Stays pretty damn cold in the 914 when the blower motor doesn't work. When it does work, it gets pretty toasty. As far as the horn and the fresh air blower, when my ignition switch started to fail, I also lost power to the horn and the blower motor - also to everything else eventually! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Once I replaced the defective ignition switch all kinds of things started working correctly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Warrenoliver |
