2.
Mount the sensor to the dash and connect the wires

to the Comfortron harness.

3.
Replace glove box assembly.

Control Head

The control head is attached to the instrument panel

flange in the same manner as the Four Season Control

Panel (See Figure 105). Two screws hold the head in

place. The amplifier, blower switch and servo and

defrost control cables are all part of the control head.

Amplifier

After the control head is removed from the instrument

panel, the amplifier may be removed as shown in Figure

107.

Temperature Dial Adjustment

1.
Install Tester J-22368 as previously described.

2.
Set Tester Voltage switch to Control Calibrate

position.

3.
Start the engine (fast idle) and set Comfortron

Control lever to HI-FRONT.

4.
Switch Rocker switch to MANUAL.

5. Set Manual Control Knob to 150 ohms on scale.

6. Rotate the Control Head Temperature Dial until the

voltmeter on the tester reads 6.5 volts. The Tem-

perature Dial should now indicate 75°.

7. If the Temperature Dial does not indicate 75°, insert

Tool J-21530 in slot to the left of the Dial as shown

in Figure 106.

8. With tool in position, rotate the Temperature Dial

so that it indicates 75°F.

Transducer

Figure 104 illustrates the installation of the transducer

assembly. Vacuum lines are clamped to the transducer

vacuum ports.

Power Servo .

The Power Servo is attached, to the distributor duct.

The entire installation consists of the Servo Assembly

and its link assembly to the TEMP door. The Servo is

attached to the Air Selector Duct as shown in Figure 108.

Mode Shift Vacuum Diaphragm

Replacement

1.
Remove the heater distributor from the vehicle.

2.
Reach into the distributor through the AIR door

opening to reach and remove the vacuum diaphragm

mounting screws and diaphragm to door link screw

(remove piug from case to reach this screw).

3.
Reverse this procedure to replace.

4.
Adjust mode door without vacuum applied to dia-

phragm. The door should be open one inch from

sealing against the air distributor opening (inside of

case).

COLLISION PROCEDURE-AII Systems

Whenever a car equipped with air conditioning unit is

involed in a collision or wreck, it should be inspected as

soon as possible. The extent of damage to any or all of

the component parts and the length of time the system

has been exposed to the atmosphere will determine the

replacement of parts and processing that will be re-

quired. The greater the length of time of exposure to the

atmosphere, the greater will have been the chances for

air, moisture and dirt to have entered and damaged the

system. Every case may be entirely different so it is not

possible to establish a hard and fast procedure to follow

each time. Good judgment must be used to determine

what steps should be taken in each specific case.

The following procedure is presented as a guide for

use when inspecting a damaged vehicle equipped with air

conditioning.

1.
Remove the drive belt. Cut belt off if necessary.

2.
Visually inspect the condenser, receiver-dehydrator,

compressor, mounting brackets, conditioning unit, all

connecting lines, and all controls to determine the

extent and nature of the damage.

a. No repairs, such as soldering, welding or braz-

ing, should be attempted on the condenser be-

cause of its construction. If the vapor passages

in the horizontal tubes or return bends or mani-

folds have been damaged in any way, the con-

denser should be replaced with a new one.

b.
The receiver-dehydrator should be replaced if

there is any evidence of its having sustained

either internal damage or a fracture at any of

the lines or welded joints or if the system has

been exposed to the atmosphere for an undeter-

mined period of time.

c. Examine the compressor for any visible external

damage.

d. The evaporator should be examined for damage

and, if necessary, removed or replaced or the

entire unit processed where damaged or exposed

to the atmosphere.

e. All connecting lines and flexible hoses should be

examined throughout their entire length for dam-

age.
If damaged in any manner, replace with new

lines.
f. Check all controls and connecting wires for

damage and replace with new parts where needed.

g. Check the clutch pulley for proper operation and

freedom from damage.

3.
Install gauge set.

4.
Purge the system. Pressure should not exceed 3 to

5 pounds.

5. Remove the compressor from mounting and remove

the oil test fitting.

6. Pour out the oil into a clean glass container and ex-

amine it for any foreign substance such as dirt,

water, metal particles, etc. If any of these are

present, the compressor and receiver-dehydrator

should be replaced and the other system components

should be flushed with liquid refrigerant.

7. If the oil is clean and free of any harmful substance,

replace oil with Frigidaire Oil available through

Parts Stock.

NOTE:
If the system components have been

replaced or flushed, replace the full charge of

oil. If not, add no more fresh oil than was

drained in Step 6.

8. Charge up the compressor to drum or can pressure

and leak test the compressor seals prior to in-

stallation of compressor.

9. Reinstall the compressor and evacuate the system

by following the Evacuating Procedure.

port thereby supplying vacuum to the Servo unit.

During system operation
the
following events occur:

1.
Car
speed below
20
mph—no function
of the
unit

because
the
rubber drum
has
not rotated
far
enough

to close
the
solenoid points.
No
energizing current

can flow through the solenoid coil.

2.
Car
speed above
20
mph—The tang
on the
rubber

drum
has
closed
the
solenoid points
and
current
is

flowing through
the 40 ohm
resistance wire
to the

solenoid coil. This current
is
not sufficient to "pull

in", the solenoid.

3.
Driver partially presses Engagement Switch—full

voltage flows through
the
solenoid
to
pull
it
into

operation. Solenoid
cam
tension
on the "U"
clip
is

released and the clip grips the rubber drum. Simul-

taneously the vacuum switch operates; applying man-

ifold vacuum
to the
Servo unit which tightens
the

throttle chain. When
the
driver releases pressure

from
the
accelerator pedal
the
unit will position the

throttle
to
maintain the speed
at
the time
of
solenoid
operation.

Driver releases
the
Engagement Switch—current

flows
to the
solenoid through
the 40
ohm wire and

since the solenoid is "pulled in", the reduced current

flow
is
sufficient to hold
it
in position.

The
car
begins
to
ascend
a
hill—car speed drops

slightly (very slightly) and the magnetic force on the

driven disk
of the
speed sensor
is
decreased.
The

disk rotates slightly
(as
would
a
speedometer shaft

because
of
hairspring tension) turning
the
rubber

drum. Since
the "U"
clip
is
gripping
the
drum,
it

moves
the
slide which COVERS
the air
bleed ports

more. With less air bleeding into the Servo, greater

vacuum exists
in it
and the diaphragm moves toward

the vacuum port opening
the
throttle wider.
The

tapered needle moves into the orifice further and the

diaphragm balances
in a
new position with the wider

throttle opening.
Car
speed
has
been maintained

automatically.
