Dads ol dodge

[Polara_500]

Just went and looked at an 84 w/air, it's in the box (right behind the glove box) as I remembered on my 83. The 87 doesn't have air so not a valid comparo, but I'm pretty sure the 93 I had was also in the box.

If that is in fact an 82 it should be in the box. The resister for an 82 a/c unit is non-existent. Or at least I have not found one. Do you have the a/c dash controls? If this is not an 82 what year is it? Will be critical to have the right year to get the correct wiring diagram.

Yes 82 was in that same location but a different resistor.

It has to have a resistor, this is what controls the blower speeds

I'm pretty sure the A/C unit came from an 89.

My box doesn't have a spot for it there?

Well, that's a new one on me.

The 93 dakota resister was located in the engine compartment. About the same location.That is why I questioned the year. It has been years since working on a 93 full size.

Did you get the a/c control from the same truck?

Yes although it had a terminal that looked like it had gotten really hot so Polara500 sent me one in much better condition which was an identical match. I'll did a little deaper into but if it was moved later on there must be a reason. Seeing how there seems to be signs of heat damage maybe the move to the cowl was a safety thing, nothing to burn in the cowl?

On the Dakota I have found the cowl location to be corrosive. Maybe fine if it is never driven in the rain and always parked in side. Think we were buying one a year. the would just rust away.
