    Its so hot here its insane! I live in WI for a reason! Well I discovered that my heater is on and making things worse. I have the blower unplugged but the heater control valve must be open and the vent is open so HOT air blows through while I cruze down the road.

    Anyone have a diagram on what cables control what? How do I shut this thing off? who has pulled this apart before?

    Please help before I die from the heat!

    The box next to the kick panel is the one with the door that lets air in, if you can find the cable for that one and flip it the other way that should help. The cable that goes into the heater box is the one that controls the thermostatic water valve.

    Or just bypass the heater hoses....pull one off at the engine, pull the other one off at the heater, and loop them back to themselves.
