If someone has a wiring diagram for connecting the 4 wires on the heater to the switch, Icould really use it! The switch has 4 connnection points,Direct and Indirect with slow and fast settings for each. Very detailed wiring instructions would also be appreciated. One of the wires coming from the heater motor is different, and not made to slide up on the switch contacts. It is a "y" shaped clip. Is this a ground wire or hot wire?

tried to send PM but you have it disabled, I have a write up by ford showing all the parts/wiring diagram/template for holes for a 39 and have used it all the way up to 48 so should work for you. send me a pm with your e-mail and I will forward you a copy

If you have the correct switch for your car it's quite easy as there are small painted 'circles' on the ceramic of the switch that correspond with the wires. That wire from the heater motor goes to the circuit breaker post that is hot when the ignition is ON.

The wire from the heater motor with the spade clip, is the ground wire. The other wires should be color coded Brown Red and Yellow. They go on the corresponding terminals on the switch. The terminal on the switch that has a black dot goes to the voltage source. If your wires are in good condition, but have lost their color coding, use this procedure to wire the switch: There are 4 wires coming from the motor. The yellow and the green wires come from the field windings and the red and brown wires come from the brushes. If your colors have faded so they all look yellow, I use an ohm meter to make an initial guess as to which wires are from the brushes and which wires are from the field and then I use a battery hooked up to a switch to determine which of the wires used for forward and reverse direction of the motor. Usually you can see a little of the green cast on the green wire and the red color on the red wire. If you connect your ohm meter between the green wire and the yellow wire, you will have near zero ohms resistance. Any other wire will show an open condition. The reading will not vary when you rotate the motor shaft. When you connect the red and brown wires, you will have more resistance than the field connections showed and it will vary slightly as you turn the motor. To check the motor out without a switch, connect the green wire to the POS terminal of a 6 volt battery ( a lantern battery will work for convenience), then connect the yellow (field) wire with the red (brush) wire together and then the remaining brown (brush) wire to the Neg terminal of the battery the motor should run. If you are using a lantern battery, the motor may require some assistance to start. Three of the wires from the motor will be attached to the switch according to the colored dots next to the terminals on the switch, the green wire will be attached to ground and the terminal with the black dot will be attached to a 6 volt source. The red and brown wires control the direction of the motor. When the switch is in the HI Direct position the fan should be blowing air through the heater core. On 1940 heaters this means that the motor is turning counter clockwise. Tom

for some reason I have had trouble sending out the heater info to several people-we have found that if you e-mail me directly I can make it work alan48@charter.net
