Hello Everyone,
I am working on my 1977 Lifeliner, and I am trying to figure out the heating and ac system for the patient compartment. Since I have had the car, I have not had the system working.
Is there any special tricks to getting the system to work? For example, does the car's own heating or ac system need to be running for the auxiliary one to work?
Also, I know inside of the rear loading door jamb, there are a few different switches that are triggered by the door being shut. I know one is to set of the warning light in the cab for "door ajar", and another is to turn on dome lights. Is one of these switches in line with the heating.ac system where it won't run unless the rear door is shut?
The other night I took down the housing that holds switches that control the patient compartment dome light and there is another switch that says "heating/air conditioning". This switch seems to have multiple settings, so I think it is for fan speed. Running from this switch were two wires with round devices in line. What are these? They look like they may have gotten overheated, and that could be part of my problem.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Kurt
