regardless the position of the dash temp setting dial, im getting heat all the time. i'd be satisfied being able to use the climate control to blow in natural air and ride with the windows down on warm days... i do not have the owners manual... is my problem, operator error or system malfunction? thanks.

search the forum archives for monovalve.

Re: monovalve - does the 81 have the monovalve or the "evil servo?"

Check PMs, read 83-500, 83-600, and/or 83-600a to address concerns about operator error.

Iam sure the 81 has the Servo.

Here is a manual that will tell you all about the system. It is one of Chryslers wonderful inventions, that MB bought into.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Both of my brothers cars (1981 300CD & D) have a monovalve, and not the servo. I would agree that the monovalve is the problem.

an '81 will most definitely have an ACC version III and a monovalve.
