Decided to pull out the non-functioning heater this afternoon. I know it's far too hot to need a heater in Houston in June, but I like everything to work!! Anyhow, I pulled the motor apart and discovered one of the brushes was stuck. Freed this off, cleaned the commutator, rebuilt it, stuck 12volts on the leads and hey presto!!
My question concerns the wiring of the switch/rheostat to the motor. I know it works both with the switch/rheostat in either the ground side or the live side, [I hooked the whole circuit up outside the car and it worked both ways] but to be correct, which should it be? The wiring diagram only shows the wiring to the heater as a complete unit.
Thanks in advance
