Manual heater control questions

[The Radium King]

ok. i went into by garage at lunch. couldn't get in behind my electronic heat controller to see if the plugs matched that on the manual one i have. even if the plug matched, it wouldn't think the same control scheme would be in play.

Wow well thanks for checking!

I don't see why you couldn't hot wire the blower motor to a toggle switch. You would also have to somehow lock the flaps inside the air box so when you do turn on the blower, the air is going through the heater core. You'll lose your ability to change direction where the air is blowing though and air speed

Are you trying to lose weight? Seems like it won't be much of a reward in weight loss by switching to a manual control or a toggle switch. That's unless you also get rid of all the HVAC under the dash too. Maybe gut the factory stuff and install a small fan motor that can push air through the heater core. Have some ducting to the windshield and maybe a small one to your feet?
