Wayne,

I'm trying to find out why the legroom flaps on my 81 380sl aren't working.

According to the diagram titled "107 series center vent/defroster relationship" posted at 107 series Center Vent/, the legroom pod is controlled by the switch over valve marked 1, whereas you stated that it is #26 on the other side of the series, closest to the amplifier.

As there seem to be 7 SOV's (3 metal ones on the left, and 4 plastic ones on the right), I'm a little confused about which SOV's people are talking about, and the difference between them. So, I was wondering if you or someone else here could clarify it me?

Thanks very much in advance.
