Had a 82 falcon with no AC pump on it. So in a Australian summer, I would drive with heater on full as well with bonnet (hood) open with a block of wood between the latch and bonnet holder. It used the latch to keep it shut, but allowed extra open space for extra air to flow over the radiator onto engine itself. Drive with heater off and temp was 3/4 of gauge. Drive with heater on and it would drop to just over 1/2 temp gauge. Was not a pleasant driving experience, but 1 most of us older Australians could cope with. Relied on the heater bypass into cabin heater to take enough of the engine heat away. Oh and that was the notorious alloy head 4. 1 crossflow. Now that I am older, I appreciate AC and other mod cons but at least I drove in my younger days with manual steering, no ABS, no AC, and could feel the road through the steering wheel. We knew how to handle skids, aquaplaning and not having cruise control.

One of the things that sets Eric and other skilled mainantics (joke) apart is unplugging the 100s of electrical plugs you encounter. This seem like a simple thing but is not. They are fragile and have locking tabs that are hard to manipulate. Strong finger are a must as well. Good job as always

I think it's very amusing that you seem to have murophobia. A friend of mine had a cable problem just like this, we made a dam out of masking tape and filled it with JB weld, it worked(messy, hard and took a long time to cure.

even small oversights in a job like this end up benefiting you when you have to do the job again, if it happens the customer wants the unit replaced, i personally love when i can fix something, even its a little ghetto but doesn't cost a dime, my kinda repair, lol, well done mr o.

They make a plastic sleeve now. That goes over the cable. Then you super glue it under the metal tab. It ain't moving. Same for Ford Vans door cables. But they are metal that replace the plastic ends that just fall off over time. As the cable for Fords is 260. 00 for 2 cables.

It is pretty cool that you take into consideration that someone may not have the money to do that repair. You still do your best for that customer. if this covid-19 continues you may want to teach yourself 3D printing for situations like this!

My 08 caravan has a real hard time switching from vents to defrost and floor. i can hear the motors trying to move but i have to hit different buttons for 20 minutes to just get it back to where i want it, maybe i will take it apart now.

If customers only knew what pain Working on dashs and plastic. They are a nightmare when they are old.
Yes mice aren't your friend when they move into the heater box. Had my share of the smelly beedy eye cridders in customer cars.
