[DML] Re: While I'm in there... (passenger knee pad removed)

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

Most AC service is outside the passenger compartment. However, the 
electrics and fan switch should be working before ac can be setup 
properly.

The fan switch has probably been broken or moved from its proper 
position.

The mode switch should work all the vent doors w/o leaks and the 
temp control should move the plenum door adequately from cold to 
hot. Most mode switches require a rebuild. Few OEM switches are 
still working properly.

If the AC needs complete service you will have to get the proper 
parts for the ac guys - orifice tube, accumulator, seals, etc.
