Winter? I live in california. About all I need is a defroster to deal with
the windshield getting fogged up.
Seriously, though, should I send you 83-605 of the service manual so you and

If you lose electric power to the servo, it should open the water valve and
the defroster

A quick check for the servo is to listen carefully (from outside the car)

IIRC, it should also move *from* the park position when you turn the
key on before starting. I've posted some servo related diagnostic

That being the case, let me elaborate on the symptoms. The only position

Brunnhilde has the same problem. It doesn't really get cold enough here
to worry much about heat, the defrost warms things up when needed, so I
have not spent much time on this (when it's high 90s, its definitely not
an issue). I will be interested to see what sorts out with your car

So my brother's 78 300D has a water leak in one of the hoses that connects
the climate control servo to itself. No real big deal, I can replace hoses.
Here's the question though. His car only has working front defrost
Bravo, Dan! Where the heck were you when I was tearing what little

One more little thing. The rubber vacuum manifold on the servo is
retained by a small screw that's kind of hard to see. If you remove
the manifold you'll have better access to check the condition of the
small rubber vacuum connectors to the vacuum lines.

One question, Dan. I noticed that you stated that the motor should
only be run momentarily when jumpered. Why is this? During my little
stint in purgatory diagnosing and repairing a misbehaving gear
assembly -details in the text file on the website- I had to put the
thing thru its paces pretty
(like
me).
