CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
With the Ignition Switch in "RUN," battery voltage is applied to the Mode Selector. The Mode Selector funnels power to the Blower Switch in all modes but "OFF." With the Blower Switch set to "1," battery voltage is applied to the Blower Motor though the Blower Resistor Assembly and the normally closed contacts of the High Blower Relay. The Blower Motor runs at low speed. When the Blower Switch is in the "2" or "3" positions, the operation is similar to the operation in "1" except the resistance through the Blower Resistor Assembly is decreased, causing the Blower Motor to run faster in "2" and even faster in "3." When "4" blower speed is selected, the Blower Switch applies voltage to the High Blower Relay coil. The High Blower Relay is energized, applying voltage from CKT 2 through the relay directly to the Blower Motor. The Blower Motor then runs at high speed.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
With the Ignition Switch in "RUN", battery voltage is applied to the Temperature Valve Motor. This motor receives ground at all times. The Temperature Selector is a potentiometer with a wiper arm that is electrically tied to the Temperature Valve Motor control input via CKT 362. When the Temperature Selector is moved between "C" and "H", voltage to the control input varies between battery voltage and zero volts. The Temperature Valve Motor solid state circuitry looks at the control input voltage and moves the motor to correspond to the control input voltage. The Temperature Valve is moved to allow air to pass through and/or around the heater core, to achieve the desired passenger compartment temperature.
