 well, after checking the the bowden cable, which doesn't move at all when I 
cycle the hi/low on ac, though the fan does what it should do, the cable 
doesn't budge.  I can hear the clicking when I press the different functions 
on climate control.  Yesterday I actually got cold air blowing and today 
also, though I have done nothing other than move wires and hoses and still 
have the whole area opened and exposed.  The ac seems to cycle off on it's 
own while driving then I have to play around with the buttons for it to come 
back on.  Could this be the climate control head itself that's causing the 
problem?  or  ac programmer since cable doesn't move?  Anybody got spares? I 
could pay reasonable price or possibly trade for other parts.   
Anyway, I'm trying to prioritize my next few steps with this car, I've got it 
running really well, I've spent lots of time and money getting it to this 
level (nothing fancy, just a good reliable daily driver, so far) thank 
goodness the car only cost $300 or I'm sure I wouldn't have kept it.   It is 
in need of some window work, (presently unplugged) non functioning radio, 
intermittent ac problem, and an outer cv joint replacement. Also have to deal 
with a shop that replaced my front rotors and brakes, the rotors were warped 
at 6 weeks and less than 2500 miles on them. They've already replaced the 
pads and brake mechanism and turned the rotors.  Brakes still don't feel 
good.  
Thanks for all your help!
