The air control knob is wired and turns in addition to pulls. it has 2 settings for the 2-speed fan so that blower motor should have 3 wires, a ground and then 2 leads for the 2 speeds.

Where do the 2 leads for the speed control go on the motor. I only see one place on the motor for the leads. There are no wires coming from the motor. Thanks for the help

Do the high and low speed leads go to the same junction terminal on the heater ? That's the only option I can visualize

So I'm dealing with later units with the 230 and the motor is 2-speed.
I thought the 226 at the end was the same.
Most of the motors I've seen have a opening in the motor cover where a ground and the 2 leads exit the coil.
Were the wires cut close and have snuck back into the motor shell or is there just 1 lead showing?

the first pic looks like a plug or blank that pulls out. see this pic and the wires coming out of the motor casing.

John - I bought a nos switch like yours and found one is 12v+ in, one is the "high"position 12+ out and the other is a reostat position. I can check and post which is which if you need it.
I bought a new fan motor at LMC here in town for 75$ and installed it. It works great but I found a new motor like the original at autozone for 20$ by chance later on.....

Thanks for the information. I would appreciate that switch information if it's not too much trouble. I didnt realize I could get a new motor for that little money. Easier than a rebuild! Thanks

John - I went and tested and metered my switch.
In the photo posted here the top of the photo is up. The left side is the dash metal and the right side towards the front of the wagon.
The bottom pin is my 12v+ power. The 10 o'clock pin (closest to the camera) is the fan motor wire. The unused 2 o'clock terminal is off of the reostat.
I use my switch with the off position being the knob rotated all the way to the right stop. In this position with the fan wire hooked to either terminal(10 or 2) the fan is off. Plus in this position the words on the knob match the rest for placement.
When I rotate my knob to the left I feel the coils of the reostat until I get to a soft stop. At this point the fan is at full speed - but powered through the reostat. One further click to the left on the knob and the reostat loses power and full 12v+ volts goes out of the 10 o'clock terminal and doesn't pass through the reostat. Basically an hard "on" position.
My reostat doesn't do anything even though it is NOS. I am fine with that as the wagon needs full heat when stationary and cold out. (35F and colder)
To use the whole switch you would need a jumper for the fan wire two the 10 and 2 terminals.
Hopefully this helps you. I had one of those heater reostat knobs in my old Chevy but they burned up so frequently that I always learned to go full on. I apply that here too and after checking - don't really have a choice......
Your truck is looking great. Maybe our local group (Auggie, yourself, me and any others) will have to setup a Willys area at the Ottawa show next year.

Thanks Ben!
I appreciate you doing that for me. I'm sure you had better things to do last night than wedge yourself under the dash. By the way, how DID you do that? Aren't you 6 feet +++. I'm in for Ottawa! If I'm not on the road by then, I never will be. Just waiting for the front clip to come back from paint. Based on the time it took to paint the cab, I'll see you in Ottawa in 2020[emoji30]

It was no problem John.
Lets just say that I could never sleep laying across the front seats of a Willys!

How does it feel to sit in your truck?

Pretty awesome considering the last time I sat in it I was on bare springs[emoji1360]. Fits pretty well, not too crowded. Kinda "nascar feeling" that close to the wheel[emoji3]

I know what you mean. I can only release the clutch pedal with the window crank in the forward position......

Hi John. That engine that is on your first page is just beautiful! What color red did you use? The rest of your build looks just as nice. What a great job!
