Holy crap it’s cold! I just spent an hour working on the heater core. Working on a car when it’s 30degF and snowing isn’t too bad but when it goes below 20degF my hands became useless. 5 minutes of warming them up in pockets gave 20 seconds of work time… not a good ratio.
I managed to fix the solenoid and the heater controls. The solenoid was actually not my fault – it lost some sort of plug. Spot of clear RTV and it’s as good as new. There are a number of different ways to insert the heater control plugs, all of which look correct from the front. Too bad I couldn’t manage to get a single screw threaded. Looks like work is stalled until it warms up towards the end of the week.
