Heater problem
1979 Ford Truck V8 Two Wheel Drive 100000 miles

how do I replace the heater motor in my 1979 F100 ford truck (with A/C). Also I need a wiring diagram for the heater motor wiring so I can determine if the heater motor is bad or if there is a disconnect between the heater motor and the heater motor switch.
