How hard is this to get at? I think the valve is old and sticky and I should of checked before I started messing with the controls. Pretty sure I broke or broke loose the cable the runs the bottom lever in this pic. Truck has factory air so I'm assuming this is going to fun?

Re: Heater Cable
Mine doesn't have air conditioning but I've taken the heater controls out and tried to lubricate the cables with graphite. It's kind of a pain but I'm glad I did. The control for off/heat/defrost is kind of primitive and doesn't work smoothly. Mine broke and I welded it with a tig welder. I push the lever in and slide it to change from off/heat/defrost. I'm worried about breaking it again so I keep it on defrost all of the time and only use the top lever and the fan to control the temperature.
Good luck!

Re: Heater Cable
This might shed some light on what you're up against. http://www.fordification.com/tech/image ... -incab.jpg Here's a photo of where the cable connects. http://www.fordification.com/forum/down ... &mode=view That bracket on top is where it's clamped and hooks onto that lever straight across from it.
