More parts coming off
Yesterday, I had a few moments to spare after work and dinner, so I pulled a few more parts off of the T&C. This was just the radio, HVAC controls, and the intrument cluster support structure.
I did have a revelation. A couple of months ago, while in the junkyard I swiped the HVAC control unit from a 1981 Chrysler Cordoba. I got it because the control unit looked to be a bit more upscale, it had fake chrome buttons on it and a nifty temperature scale (vs. the cool ---> warm of the Aspen). The HVAC control unit in the T&C is the same one as in the Aspen.
When I pulled the one out of the T&C, I noticed that the temperature control arm moved a lever on the opposite side of the unit compared to the one I had from the Cordoba. I compared the two, and that is when I noticed the letters "ATC" stamped on the top of the Cordoba's control unit. I managed to swipe out the Automatic Temperature Control unit. It doesn't look like it would work for the Aspen, unless I snagged the full heater box unit out from a similar ATC car.
