Manual Air Recirculation Control
Manual Air Recirculation Control The HVAC control in a 1999-2002 2ed generation Ram only has the ability to recirculate air when either the controller is in the OFF or MAX A/C. In all other positions outside air is entering the cab interior. This modification will give you the ability to either have the air recirculation controlled by the factory HVAC controller or have the system in recirculation in any position. How it works The black hose supplies the vacuum to the HVAC system. The green hose supplies vacuum from the HVAC controller to the recirculation actuator. When the mode knob is in the OFF or MAX A/C positions vacuum is applied to the actuator which moves a “door” that blocks outside air from entering the cabin. The mode knob in all other positions blocks vacuum to the recirculation actuator keeping the door open and allowing fresh air into the cabin. The vacuum controller when de-energized will allow the factory settings. When the controller is energized there is constant vacuum to the actuator keeping the air recirculating door closed in all mode settings. What you will need · Vacuum controller (reversing valve) Hella 722240130 · Toggle switch (12V) · 6’ red 18-16 AWG · 3’ black 18-16 AGW · Connector SMP HP3860 or SMP S · Vacuum hose fittings (T and 90°) · Glue, solder, heat shrink, or butt connectors · 5 amp fuse I went to a Pic Your Part wrecking yard for some of these parts. The vacuum controller, connector, wire, and fuse, were from a 2001-2006 Volvo S60/V70 Turbo. The vacuum controller and connector can also be found at Rockauto. The vacuum fittings are from various vehicles. The HVAC controller is from a 2001 Dodge ram1500. What to do Remove the panel below the steering column, this will give you access to all vacuum control hoses. They are located in a bundle left of center under the dash. Find a suitable place to mount the vacuum controller next to the bundle. Cut both the dark green and black hoses and the appropriate hose fittings are installed. If the fitting is a little lose a dab of glue such as Goop for automotive use can be applied to make the connection air tight. Run the red wire from spare fuse location #16 in the junction block at the left side of the dash to the toggle switch and add a 5 amp fuse. The toggle switch can be mounted where you feel comfortable using it. Its style and size is your choice. Install the wire from the toggle switch to the vacuum controller plug and the ground wire from the vacuum controller plug to a metal part of the dash (ohm test for suitability). Push the plug into the controller then secure the controller to either the side of the HVAC housing with double sided tape or zip tie it to something that does not move. There are no warranties implied or expressed. Mockup of controller and hoses Written by: J. Daniel Martin, Martin’s Mobile Maintenance AKA IBMobile 12/17/2020 View full Cummins article

Is there a "recirc" for heat?
On both my lap top and desk top I copied the Character Map icon to the taskbar; click on that an the map opens.

45° is cold to me. Heck, when it goes below 59° I'm getting cold. I go to the character map pull up Cambria math font, find what I need select, copy and past..

The AC compressor is on and the recirculating air is being dehumidified.

I'm almost 70, you going to come over here and give me a hand too. Thanks for the heads up about that. last month I hauled 2 loads of 3/4' gray crushed rock for back fill and the rock wedged between the tailgate and bed. It would have broken those LEDs for sure. I wonder how they would be on the back of a trailer or 5th wheel?- Rocker panels cab corners

I'd check mine but it's in the body shop and I won't see it for another 3 weeks. If I remember right there was no play in the linkage of my transmission when I removed and replaced it last year. To isolate the play try disconnecting the linkage where rod #10 attaches to lever #18. Now you can isolate whether the play is in the linkage or the shift comb in the transmission.- wipers

Both grounds for the PCM and the one for the OBD plug ground at the passenger side battery. When you shorted the positive cable to the ground cable power might have gone through the PCM back wards.- wipers
Clean up the linkage and add a little lube/grease to the moving parts. With the cowling off, now is a good time to install a screen or filter over the fresh air openings for the HVAC system. I have my cowling off now and before I put it back on I'm thinking about installing window screening over the openings with some type of glue to hold it in place.
