My Heater is Controllable Again

Ever since I was put back on the road, the two cables controlling my heater have been non-working. Last night, Ariel's dad put me up on jackstands and replaced the broken cables with GUOs (good, used ones) from the Corvair Ranch. The procedure was not without it challenges. First, all three tunnel covers (one on the inside under the front carpet, two on the underside) had to come off. The new cables had to be threaded in and around suspension stuff and finally the cable ends (small loops of the wire) had to be popped on to the small posts on the control levers and door levers. The whole job took a couple of hours. While he was under there, he tried to remove the heater fan. With all the attaching screws out, the motor (with fan) will not slide far enough out of the heater box to be removed. So Tom took a wire brush to the rusty mating surfaces. It's his intention to improve the contact to ground and stop that circuit's fuse from continuously blowing due to high resistance. He didn't take the time to test his adjustment, so we don't know if he was successful.
