Temperature Control Cable

The temperature control cable is self-adjusting with the movement of the temperature selector knob to its fully clockwise position in the red band on the face of the control assembly. To prevent kinking of the control wire, a preset adjustment should be made before attempting to perform the self-adjustment operation. The preset adjustment may be performed either with the cable installed in the vehicle or before cable installation.

Cable Preset and Self-Adjustment

Before Installation

1. Insert the end of a small pocket screwdriver in the end loop of the temperature control cable, at the temperature door crank arm end.

2. Slide the self-adjusting clip down the control wire (away from the end loop) approximately 25mm (1 inch).

3. Install the cable assembly.

4. Turn the temperature control knob fully clockwise to position the self-adjusting clip.

5. Check for proper control operation.

After Installation

1. Turn the temperature selector knob to the COOL position.

2. Hold the temperature door crank arm firmly in position, insert the blade of a small pocket screwdriver into the wire end loop, as shown in the previous illustration, and pull the cable wire through the self-adjusting clip until there is a space of approximately 25mm (1 inch) between the clip and the wire end loop.

3. Turn the temperature control knob fully clockwise to position the self-adjusting clip.

4. Check for proper control operation.
