Guest Posted June 27, 2002 Posted June 27, 2002 Does the wires that go to the heater and relay above the AC do anything other than control the heater/AC? I am removing these items completely and need to know. Can I also remove these wires? ------------------ George Lines
Guest Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 George, Are you talking about the wires in the engine compartment that plug into the a/c box? I know that there are two separate plugs on that box and when you unplug them, the blower motor stops working. I am in the process of removing my a/c box and am going to try and figure out which wires I need to "jump" with each other to keep my blower working. Again, I'm not sure these are the wires you're talking about. Curt
Guest Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 Yes, these are the wires. I'm removing the blower motor/entire heater/A/C system and covering the holes with flat plates. ------------------ George Lines
wallaby Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 There is a plate there with terminals on the outside, and what look like springs on the inside. This is a series of resistors that work like the heating elements in a toaster. It is this gizmo that gives you the different fan speeds, and it gets pretty hot. They install it in the box there so that when the fan is on, it blows air across the resistors to keep it cool.
Guest Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 Is there any place a person could find a diagram of all this. Unlike George, I would like to get this stuff replaced on may car. Someone has tampered with all of that stuff and I'm pretty well lost at trying to replace it. All the A/C stuff is gone but I would sure like to get the heater working. Ron
Guest Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 Pulled out all wires, relays, resistors, heater box, everything. I found wires going only to heater/control switches/AC/AC pump. Pulled wires out of my 71 parts car and it had a lot of stuff not on my 70. I have no idea what this extra stuff on the 71 is. The previous owner had wires going everywhere, but some extra things looked factory. ------------------ George Lines

The point is that wires to the heater can be taken out. [This message has been edited by George Lines (edited 06-30-2002).]

The starter is permanatly jumpered and is operated from a solenoid located in the trunk which is where the battery is. HEI distributor was already wired from another direction. Someday you will get to see my Monte. Maybe even get to race against it if you are brave enough!!!!!!! LOL ------------------ George Lines
wallaby Posted June 30, 2002 Posted June 30, 2002 Hmmm.... When you look at my car,what you see is sheeps' clothing!
Guest Posted July 1, 2002 Posted July 1, 2002 I tried to make my Monte look like a sheep (sleeper), but it just didn't work out that way. Maybe it's the massive exhaust system hanging underneath with 3.5" tailpipes and 10.5" M/T's on the back. You can also hear it thundering down the road. When I get it back on the road again, I'll bring it by your work. ------------------ George Lines [This message has been edited by George Lines (edited 07-01-2002).]
