Gary Lewis Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 1/29/2024 was a minute ago? Interesting video. It would have been useful a bunch of times, and may end up applying to CD Long https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Next-issue-Heater-air-flow-tp145358.html It was in my memory. 76+ years is a looooong time, so what's a few days? Anyway, I obviously misunderstand your reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Found a crack & part number. E1AH-190961 NOT a part number, an engineering number. Counterintuitively the number ON a Ford part is not the number that you need to order. You need to go to the MPC and look up the number you find to determine the number you need...

I do believe Gary showed you where that page is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDLong Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 The Master Parts Catalog. I do believe Gary showed you where that page is? If he did, I didn't save it. I have just about everything Gary copies me on. It's not in my parts folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need the BA suffix to find the correct part..... https://www.nrmauto.shop/product/1980-1986-ford-bronco-ac-hvac-climate-temperature-control-e1ah-190961-ba-ford-factory-shop/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People assume, for an obvious reason, that the number on a part is a part number. But no, Ford had a Better Idea! So they, and we, have people wanting to buy a part based on the number on the part - which in Fordspeak is an ID #. However the #'s in the master parts catalog are, oddly enough, part numbers, not ID #'s. Given that they issued a Master Cross Reference List wherein you can look up either the ID # or the PN and find the other one - in theory. But what I see on the part in question is E1AH 190961-BA. And there is no 19096, much less a 190961, in the 1985 MCRL - that I can find. So let's go back to the page I referenced at Documentation/HVAC/HVAC Systems and then go to the Part Numbers tab. There you'll find lots of #'s, inc the ones below, from which I think we are looking for PN E4TZ 19980-N. And from the MCRL I see that it should have the ID # of E4TH 19980-MA on it. But let's assume that the number on the part is actually E4TH 19980-BA. That crosses to E4TZ 19980-G, which the MPC says is for an 84 with an aux fuel tank, and that control does not have the switch for the aux tank.
