ok so i switched the 2nd and 3rd settings wires around and so the 'fastest' fan setting is on 2 for now until i can pull that thing out and bend the controls to get a connection in the 3rd setting.
anyways i still can't seem to get air outa the middle or front vents. i only get it outa the foot and defrost vents. and it does move around fine so the controls are working. maybe i have rats nest
any ideas before i start tearing the dash out what may be affecting those middle vents?
like i said i get air outa top and bottom vents and its a LOT of air but when i get to the middle vents they are nothing and both other vents aren't shooting air out anymore then.
on my 74 2.0 you can also turn the dash vents off by moving the lever on them all the way to the right, if you do this and look inside you will see this working...
the all the vents work through the cabling system (3 cables, one each of which is attached to each of the controls) if you cannot move the upper slider(fan speed) to full postion then there is an issue with operation of that cable.....read more..
oh when I did mine I found golf tees inside the system, not alot of blocking though.
when that particualar cable gets attached it has to be done so that the flaps are able to open and close fulle and importantly in paralell ( if can be connected so that one flap opens as the other one closes thus only getting air from one side and all the time.. ) ask me how I know..
it is a pain job, gas tank out than the cable connectting is no fun.. if your going to do it I recomend getting the seal kit for the fresh air box from 914 rubber it has the fan and flapper seals included and believe me yours if still there are dried out and foam crackling off..
Also be advised that postion one is so soft you may not notice it working at all if you do not pay attention, position 2 is low but obvious and 3 is as good as it gets.. this also may be adding to confusion.. be queit and you will here position 1 barely..
