Heater cabling

[frhrwa]

I just replaced the core and the fan motor (upgrade), found one cable shot, the one that goes to the defrost lever on the far right passenger side of the heater.. I ordered 3 cables from Morris, each a different length.. but, the longest one will no where come near reaching that farthest lever? I'm about 1 1/2 ' short? is this supposed to be a two piece cable that somehow I missed where the slave cable might go? or did I get the wrong cable? or? thanks.. wayne

I am in the same boat...sort of... I can pull the knob to open the vent on the passengers side, but it won't close, so some kind of link is missing and the PO made a mess of it and I can't figure it out. Seems to be the same cable but something ain't right.

here's a copy of the drawing I found..

I suspect I have a problem with one ore more of the levers...looking at what you posted, these could get rusty. We're you able to figure out your cable? Looks like there is a link between those two that are adjustable. Maybe that is the link where those cables join.

yes, the cable I got hooks to the top of the heater, where there is a linkage that has a cable that goes to the right side (passenger) of the heater.. it does have an adjustment, but didn't need to mess with it.. shot lithium on all of the linkages and cables.. there is one bar that hooks to that linkage that goes back to the drivers side, haven't figured what makes it open or close, nor what it does? also found an extra part that I have no clue what it is? picture below?..
