Re: [FWDLK] '55 Dodge heater/defroster controls

Lou,

1. The lever to the left of the steering column controls the water valve
located around the lower RH corner of the heater housing inside the car.
When the lever is lowered, it opens the valve to allow more hot water flow
into the heater core.
2. The 2 doors on the housing under the dash are closed to route fresh air
into the heater and open for fresh air without heat. The doors can be opened
or closed with your toe while driving.
3. The large horizontal lever under the dash controls the pop-up vent air
intake in front of the windshield.
4. There are very nice detailed diagrams of the heater assembly in the
factory Shop Manual, Section 1. User instructions are in the Owner's Manual.

Subject: [FWDLK] '55 Dodge heater/defroster controls

I'd like advice on setting heater/defroster controls for fresh-air
intake. There's a control on the heater shroud near the firewall in the
car, but I'm not sure what it's for. Thanks!

Regards....
Lou
