auto temp II

["Robin Giesbrecht" <robings@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the info. I wil try that avenue. On another note I started 
tinkering with the servo I currently have installed. It does have a small 
crack on the inside where the guts live and this is why the MB guts were 
corroded. So I 2 part epoxied that crack(temp fix I know) and then attempted 
to "set up" the servo. At least a logical starting point. Well now I still 
have a vacuum leak on Hi or LO auto but normal defrost gives me AC through 
the defrost duct. Better than nothing as yesterday it was 90+ degrees. Hi 
defrost gives me heat out of defrost. Hi or Lo auto gives me cool air but no 
blower. I will keep fiddling with it.
