1) Remove right instrument panel sound insulator. Remove temperature control cable from heater housing. Move temperature control knob from full cold to full hot setting. If cable binds or pulley does not rotate freely, replace cable. Set temperature control knob to detent position halfway between full cold and full hot setting. 2) If control cable pulley is offset by 5-10 degrees toward full cold side, no adjustment is necessary. See Fig. 2. If control cable pulley is offset to

NOTE: For additional trouble shooting information, see MANUAL A/C-HEATER SYSTEMS - TROUBLE SHOOTING article. BLOWER MOTOR 1) If blower does not operate, check HVAC fuse (20-amp) in instrument panel fuse block. If fuse is blown, check for short to ground in Brown wire between HVAC fuse (20-amp) and mode selector switch 3-pin connector terminal "C". If fuse is okay, check I/P-1 fuse (40-amp) in underhood electrical center. If fuse is blown, check for short to ground i
