Has anyone seen or retrofitted the bar slider type of factory controls work with newer retrofit (entire evaporator and heater box) type air conditioning.
I was on what seems to be a daily mcmaster carr order, and got some cheap plastic gears and racks thinking I can put a gear on the supplied dial for the fan and thermostat. Pulled the cables from the old unit and the fan switch looks like a lever, with three distinct clicks, but they work with that blower resister deal so two legs are hot for medium and high. So its not like the AC wont always be on high, but do not want to short out the unit again after we bury it.
So connect a rack to the lever and a gear to the dial where you slide and it turns sounds like a plan, but probably not a good one lol.
