Econoline E350 1 Ton V8-5.4L Prop SOHC VIN Z (1998)
selector position determines heating or cooling and air distribution. The temperature blend control setting determines air temperature.
The manual climate control components are used to:
-
select air inlet source (outside or recirculated).
-
select blower motor speed.
-
select discharge air temperature (temperature blend).
-
select discharge air location (defrost, panel, floor).
-
select A/C compressor clutch operation.
Climate Control Assembly
The climate control assembly has three system controls:
-
The A/C heater function selector switch combines a vacuum selector valve with two electrical switches to supply battery positive voltage to the
A/C clutch circuit and the blower motor control circuit.
-
The temperature selection is accomplished with a potentiometer connected to the electric blend door actuator that controls positioning of the
temperature blend door. Movement of the control knob from COOL (Blue) to WARM (Red) causes a corresponding movement on the air
temperature control door and determines the temperature that the system will maintain.
-
The blower motor switch controls blower motor speed by adding or bypassing resistors in the heater blower motor switch resistor.
