92WB Front electric heater

[ronmarabito2002]

O.K. Randy, Rob and everyone:

Here is the skinny on the faulty front electric heat.

I went to the junction boxes and relays under the bedroom closet
floor. I first checked all the connections in the junction boxes.
They are all connected using these 4 terminal push-on splices. I
moved all of them. No change in conditions.

Second, I checked the three relays. All three were open with the
dash A/C switches off. Next I turned the front A/C switch to ON.
Checked to see which relay was activated. It was the relay on the
left. Checked all the splices. Went back to the front and Whalla!!!
We had front electric heat. It had to be a loose connection in one of
the splices at the relay.

PROBLEM SOLVED. Thanks Randy for leading me to the right place.

The other two relays obviously control power to the other two A/C
units.
