Painless wiring heater switch

[rjcruz27]

I don’t know if I’m just dumb. But anyone who has done a painless rewire. There’s a brown/orange/red wire. Brown plugs in the middle. Then the red and orange go to the resistor on the back of the heater? Where does the orange and black wire go to on the heater motor that’s located on the front?

the orange wire from the motor goes to the red resistor wire & orange wire from the switch. The drawing on page #22 of the manual shows this as being a red wire. The black wire connects to ground.

So the red and orange from the switch just needs spliced to the orange wire from the motor?

 

[eric0o1]

yes, the red and the orange from the switch is the power out from the switch to the motor. Red is low (which is why it is resisted), orange is high. The orange from the motor is the power into the motor

I’m so sorry I’m terrible st this. Just to clarify.

From switch on dash. Take red and orange to the the resistor and plug both red and orange onto the resistor.

Then black wire from the heater motor is ground, and the orange wire from the motor gets spliced how and where?

the red goes onto one side of the resistor, the 2 oranges (one from the switch and one from the motor) go to the other side of the resistor
