Dash fan stuck on defrost vent .. UPDATE
Tom Rogers:
Is it the size of a cereal box or pack of cigarettes?
Richard And Babs Ames:
Our old one was about 1 inch by 5 and was air operated. New one is electric and about the 2 inches by 5. Both use 1/4 inch vacuum hose and goes to a vacuum storage sphere about the size of a grapefruit. The hose then goes to a distribution manifold with small multi colored plastic tubes which is under the dash and interacts with the selector dial for AC, Def, Heat and so on.

Here in central South FL it was in the high 30's this AM which is not good for us thin bloods. Stay warm.

OK so I spent an hour and a half on my back! Everything seemed secure under the dash. (I also found the schematic hard copy in my file ... to understand how wires/tubing connect) ... On my back on the asphalt ..... all the tubing, sphere and whatever components are far outta reach !!! I shined my high power flash light with and without the generator in it's place. Unless I find Popeye's girlfriend "Olive oil" .... I have no clue how to get up to the vacuum components !! I wasn't able to touch anything up on the firewall. Didn't see anything loose or hanging. Any suggestions???
