body and interior Differences in Bowden cables

[tito559]

What is the difference between #22 & #23 in the diagram.

[Buckeye]

23 is NLA

[Mike Self]

If I'm reading the diagram correctly, #22 (the upper cable) controls the defroster flaps on the heater box, and #23, (the lower cable) controls the floor heat outlets.   #7 in the diagram is the double cable--one goes to the water valve (controls water temperature in the heater) while the other opens and closes the air mixer door--the hotter the water, the more the mixer door is closed.

Since #23 is no longer available, can #22 be used instead. What exactly is the difference between the two side by side? I just received a brand new #22 and I was just wondering if I could buy another one and use it for the other control.

I can check this weekend (Saturday 02/14) if the two bowden cables (#22 & #23) are identical or not.  They might be slightly different lengths, but I bet that you could substutute a #22 for a #23. I'll confirm and report back,

I confirmed that those two Bowden cables are the same lengths end to end on the metal part.  Look to be interchangeable to me.

Hey JohnS that's great news!!! Thanks for the info.

the hotter the water, the more the mixer door is closed.

 

I'm switching to a different heater valve. So to be clear: Mixer flap closed=Heater valve open right?

[Rich]

reviving this old thread, when I open the top lever, the defroster lever, the heater flap opens and vice versa.  Is it possible that some previous owner or tinkerer inadvertently switched them when they were making a repair ?? And if so can I get to the lever mechanisms to make the switch  ?
