MISS JULIE I HAVE JUST DOWNLOADED ALL THE DIAGRAMS FROM "MITCHELL 1" CONCERNING THE 1988 WRANGLER
I'M MORE OF A CJ KINDA GUY (KNOW THEM VERY WELL)----I HAVE MESSED WITH A FEW WRANGLERS MOSTLY UNDER THE HOOD AND SOME OF THE DRIVE-TRAIN
I JUST LOOKED AT THE HEATER DIAGRAM ---- IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A 1979-1986 CJ
SO I'M WITH YOU.I THINK
I HAVE NEW FRIEND WITH AN '88, WE'VE BEEN MESSING WITH HIS ENGINE, I HAVE NOTICED HIS CONTROLS ARE DIFFERENT, BUT I HAVEN'T LOOKED OVER THE HEATER AT ALL (SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS, I POSSIBLY CAN GET INFO FROM HIS)
ON A CJ, WE HAVE 4 K. NOBS THAT PULL CABLES AND A FAN SWITCH (SEE 1ST PIC)
MY FRIENDS '88, HAS "SLIDES" THAT OPERATE THE CABLES
IF THIS IS THE SAME HEATER BOX---I RECKON THE CABLES GO TO THE SAME PLACES--THEY JUST GET PULLED BY DIFFERENT CONTROLS. BUT STILL PERFORM THE SAME DUTIES
PIC 1)----IF "MY" AND OTHER "CJ OWNERS" CONTROLS HAVE BEEN WORKING "ALL OF THE FEATURES" (CORRECTLY)THE MOVEMENTS WON'T BE ALL "HARD" AND "STICKING", AS WITH THE CJ OWNER WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE OPERATION OF "K. NOB #2" (THE "AIR" K. NOB)
PIC 2). IT IS A BIT DECEIVINGTHIS CONTROL WILL COME OUT SO FAR (WITH EASE) AND STOP AT ABOUT 2-3/4 INCHES (PIC 3)THIS IS ACTUALLY 1/2 WAY---THE "HEAT SETTING" (AS DISPLAYED ON THE LABEL). THIS SETTING IS USED WITH THE "TEMP"--"DEFROST" AND "FAN". THIS KEEPS YOU WARM!
(SINCE THE K. NOB SORTA STOPS THERE, MANY THINK IT'S FULLY OUT TO THE "AIR POSITION"----SO THEY PUSH IT IN 1/2 WAY BACK TO WHAT THEY THINK IS "HEAT". THEY ARE ACTUALLY AT A 1/4 OF THE WAY OUT AND CHEATING THEMSELVES FROM MUCH NEEDED HEAT!)
THE "AIR KNOB" STOPS AT 1/2 OUT. IF YOU PULL IT HARD. IT WILL PULL ON OUT TO THE "VENT POSITION"NOW IT'S FULLY OUT. AT 3-5/8 INCHES (PIC 4)
AT THE SAME TIME, 2 VENTS OPEN ON A CJONE NEAR THE COWL VENT (BEHIND HOOD--BUT UNDER THE COWL). THIS ONE CHANNELS AIR BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S LEGS (DUCT). PIC 5
THE OTHER VENT THAT OPENS IS IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER'S RIGHT LEG. MEGA OUTSIDE AIR FLOWS IN TO THE PASSENGER (AND INSIDE THE COCKPIT). PIC 6
THE "HARDNESS" OF PULLING THE OTHER 1/2 WAY OUT---IS WHAT IT TAKES TO OPEN THESE VENTS UP. IF IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE, IT MAY NEED A LITTLE HELP UNTIL IT LOOSENS UP, THAT IS PULLING THE K. NOB WHILE YOU "HELP IT" OPEN WITH YOUR FINGER (PIC 8)
ON A CJ, OUTSIDE AIR PUSHING IN THE COWL VENT (PIC 7) IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED FOR FLOW----NO NEED FOR ANY OTHER K. NOBS TO BE PULLED OUT OR THE FAN TO BE ON. THIS IS "POOR MAN'S AIR CONDITIONING!"
NOW THENIS MY PICTURE 6 WHAT THIS "MYSTERY CABLE". IS HANGING BESIDE OR NEAR?
YOUR TURN MISS JULIE
