CIRCUIT OPERATION
BLOWER CONTROLS
Battery voltage is applied at all times to the Hi Blower Relay, through the RED (2) wire. When the Blower Switch is in the OFF, LO or MED positions, the Hi Blower Relay is de-energized.
When the Ignition Switch is in the RUN or ACCY position, voltage is supplied to the Selector Control by way of the BRN (50) wire through the HTR A/C Fuse. This voltage is supplied, through the Selector Control, and then through the BRN/WHT (64) wire to the Blower Switch and Resistor Block. At the Resistor Block, voltage is dropped through three resistors. This reduced voltage flows through the DK BLU (101) wire to the de-energized Hi Blower Relay. Since the Hi Blower Relay is de-energized, circuits 101 and 65 are connected through the relay. This reduced voltage flows through the PPL (65) wire to the Blower Motor and the Blower Motor will run at a slow speed.
When the Blower Switch is turned to LO, voltage flows through the Blower Switch, to the Resistor Block, through the TAN (63) wire. Voltage flows through two resistors, through the DK BLU (101) wire, through the contacts of the de-energized Hi Blower Relay to the Blower Motor by way of the PPL (65) wire.
When the Blower Switch is turned to MED, voltage flows through the Blower Switch, to the Resistor Block, through the LT BLU (72) wire. Voltage flows through one resistor, through the DK BLU (101) wire, through the contacts of the de-energized Hi Blower Relay to the Blower Motor by way of the PPL (65) wire.
When the Blower Switch is turned to HI, voltage flows through the Blower Switch, to the Hi Blower Relay, through the ORN (52) wire. This voltage flows through the coil of the Hi Blower Relay. With the Hi Blower Relay energized, battery voltage flows through the RED (2) wire, through the contacts of the energized Hi Blower Relay to the Blower Motor by way of the PPL (65) wire. This allows battery voltage to power the Blower Motor.
The Compressor for the Air Conditioning System is driven by the engine by means of a belt drive and the A/C Compressor Clutch. The Clutch allows the Compressor to be disengaged when Air Conditioning is not required.
Operation of the Compressor depends on the particular A/C Mode selected at the Heater and A/C Controller. With A/C ON selected, battery voltage flows through the Selector Control to the Evaporator Pressure Control Switch by way of the LT GRN (66) wire. Voltage flows through the normally closed contacts of the Evaporator Pressure Control Switch to the A/C Compressor Clutch. The coil is energized and the A/C Compressor Clutch engages.
If the refrigerant pressure drops to a point which may cause icing of the evaporator, the Evaporator Pressure Control Switch opens, de-energizing the A/C Compressor Clutch. When the refrigerant pressure rises to a point where cooling is required again, the Evaporator Pressure Control Switch closes to re-energize the A/C Compressor Clutch.
The A/C Compressor Clutch Diode is connected across the terminals of the A/C Compressor Clutch. Whenever the clutch is de-energized, the magnetic field around it collapses, generating an induced voltage in the clutch coil. The Diode provides a path for the current resulting from the induced voltage so that other circuit components are not damaged by it.

REAR BLOWER CONTROL
Battery voltage is supplied to the Blower Switch through the AUX HTR A/C Fuse and the BRN (50) wire. When the Blower Switch is turned to LO, voltage flows through the Blower Switch to the Resistors by way of the YEL (51) wire. Voltage flows through two resistors, through the ORN (52) wire to the Rear Blower Motor.
When the Blower Switch is turned to HI, voltage flows through the Blower Switch directly to the Rear Blower Motor through the ORN (52) wire.
