Dodge heater cable and valve

Hi All,

The blower on the Dodge Spacevan doesn't get hot at all even when the engine's up to temp.

I've taken the dash out today to find the cable had come loose from the temperature control lever - probably as the valve or cable is seized.

But the connection to the temperature control lever looks odd anyway - it looks like a drilled out brass centre from an electrical block with a straight cable going into it at an odd angle. I'm wondering if the end should be more like this : Stag one on ebay - anyone know? I'm thinking that one might make a good replacement.

Also if the actual heater control valve is beyond freeing up are they a common part?

Thanks

Paul.
 
Maybe your dodge is more sophisticated than my Maidstone but my control is on or off with the switch on a pipe in the engine bay...

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm sure someone else will know the answer...
 
Thanks Panky - Couple of good ideas there, I've also seen this : http://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/dash-or-panel-mounted-15mm-58-brass-heater-valve which might suit as a quick replacement of both the control lever/cable and valve in one unit if I can't free up the existing valve. Quite a lot of suitable bits from CBS, I've used them before on a kit car.

So a lot to go on. I'm going to hopefully pull the heating system apart this weekend as I think the heater airbox is rather dead. I'm going to loop the heater circuit at the engine to give me time to work on the rest of the system I think.
 
For info in case anyone else looks for this:

A Land Rover cable is perfect - Part No. AAP876 - £8 off eBay!
