Re: Today's Packard Mystery - Rear Defroster

Here is the 56 Novi schematic as used in the custom built unit Novi made for Stude. They didn't use pressure switches and the compressor ran all the time with temp control by a mechanical hot gas bypass valve. Unlike Packards factory trunk unit where temp was electrically adjustable, in the aftermarket trunk units just blowers were electrically controlled.

From the 56 Stude SM, here is a general description of how the unit operates. Obviously yours will be different but between the blower schematic and writeup maybe a starting point for yours. I believe all Studes were 12v in 56 so the wire gauge and fuse data should be good.
