Heater air distributor
« on: April 07, 2016, 09:19:29 »
I have bought a used air distributor for the heater. There are some electrical cores at the right hand side of the box. I wander what purpose they are there for? Se picture.
Is there any who can help?

Mine has no connectors on the side of the heater housing. However, Similar connectors do exist out side the housing, on the side of the duct, with 2 electrical wires, one of which is ground and the other goes to the Glove Compartment. If your glove compartment light is working, most likely that you have the same set-up like mine. Then you just ignore the connector on the housing you bought. That means that the housing you bought is different than your original housing.
