Temperature Control Lever

The temperature control lever is connected by cable to blend-air door. With lever in the cool position, air by-passes the heater core. With lever in the warm position, air is directed through the heater core. In intermediate positions, air is directed through and around heater core, and then blended to achieve desired temperature. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 .
