Re: I have a what is it.

i saw your post and went out to check an a/c housing that we have, i am no expert in any way and cannot give this a name but it is a flap, or door that goes in the bottom of the inside part of the a/c housing, maybe to put heat and air to floor, but anyway i know someone will be able to give it a name..

"Insert Tab A into Slot B".....where ever slot B is.....

I did a disassembly on my AC unit, but nothing fell out that I can recall. I'll try to take a look at the pile 'o parts and see if it is identifiable.

Yes it fits in the hole on the underside of your heater box, you open it by pulling it down like an attic door it reveals the heater resistor inside and above that door....so I think it is just an access panel type thing to get at the resistor, why it would be sitting where it is in the pics and what it's proper name might be...I have no idea.

Re: I have a what is it.

Thanks for the answer. Funny thing is. I just filled that hole with JB weld. I thought someone had cut that hole. Goes to show you ask then fix I guess.

Re: I have a what is it.

I just put some duct tape over that hole. Huh. The first time in a while that I've used duct tape on a duct. lol. The passenger doesn't need heat on their feet anyways. Throw some fuzzy slippers in the cab and you'll be good to go.
