Heater works and Ready for Final Inspection

I installed the heater vent control and heater variable control and the moment of truth was upon me. The PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) control worked flawlessly - even better than I expected. The PWM system gets power from the blower 12V so the heater cannot operate unless the blower is going. I also have a microswitch on the vent flap so if it's nearly closed the heater cannot operate.

Sliding the control up about halfway shows about 2 Amps being drawn - about 1200 Watts. Moving the control further to the left (hotter) show the current going up to 5 Amps for a second then dropping back to 2.5 Amps. That's the self limiting ceramic heater core doing its thing. A great success.

The dashboard controls are also labelled.

We were on holiday last week and the family knew I had a list of things to do before being ready for final inspection - with times allocated to each entry (10 hours in all). It's been entertaining gradually crossing off each item until we came down to zero hours.

I reckon the Vogue is ready for final inspection by the engineer.
