Re: Packard Heaters

As an update on my heater project, I did find a cloth-covered 3-wire bundle coming from the back of the unit. The bundle is routed through a rat's nest of wires under the dash and comes out to the right of the steering column, where all 3 wires are attached to a 2 position pull switch marked with a 'W' which I thought was the wiper switch. (they don't work either) The switch does not effect any activation of the fan motor (ignition on, of course) I could not find any 6-V feed TO the heater motor. I pulled back the carpet and checked on the engine-compartment side of the fire wall, but could not see any electrical line-in to the heater. Does anyone know where this feed would come from?? And where it would attach to the heater?? I have not, as yet taken the heater out and hope not to have to, but the unit obviously needs a power source and I can't see where it would come from or where it would connect. Thanks for any info or advice.
