Re: those darned climate control dampers (5k)

[Leah and David Mueller <muellerl@cadvision.com>]

Does this air flow remain no matter how long the air is on?  If so, your AC
progammer is probably dead ( default for such a probem is air out of defrost
only) or their is a vaccum leak.  I suppose you can get in there to mannally
adjust the dampers if you don't want the defrost capabilities in the future.
E - mail me privately if you (or anyone else) wants a collection of ideas
with climate control.  And since I now have the Bentley, I too will join the
many others who suggest you get it.  Not absolutley neccessary due to great
help from this group, but very valuable.
