    A/C Problem

     



    If you move switch on the dash to heat the heat comes on,
    but if you move the switch back to A/C it won't work.
    So you have to reach under the dash and pull the rod
    on the diaphram or accuator on the left then the A/C
    will work again. Would this be a bad diapham or would
    the contrller or the head be bad.
    I am no A/C tec by far so I am guessing here.
    This is on a old 83 Dodge pick up.
    Thanks for any help.
    Kurt

    check your vacuum supply to the control head, then pull check with a vacuum gauge to see if vacuum is going to the actuator when it is commanded to

    Man, I ain't had a T bucket since Lassie was a pup!!!!!! On most of mine, the Lexan windows won't even roll down, just pull the pins and hang em on the garage wall til track day when the inspector dude sez ya gotta plug the holes or ya can't race!!!!!
