Grounded Heater Control

[jacoby1007]

I searched for this but didn't seem to find it. Where does the control arm for the grounded heater contact get ground from? With out my heater control flaps installed the control dash arm is not grounded. Does it really get grounded at the control flaps in the back? Not grounded at in the front anywhere?

Yes, it uses a contact on the lever: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=570809

I love hidden things like that, I added the late bay switch contacts to my 71 bus heater levers. I hope it will make a good stealth install on my under cab floor blower motor I'm still working on

It's really easy to get the switch contacts apart, but getting the lever assy out is a pain. You probably just need to scotchbrite the contacts and rub a little vaseline on them.

I got it working after taking the assembly apart. To confirm it does ground on the assembly. I also added a smaller washer on the side to help it make more contact.
