Howdy, Tom. Yep, second valve from the top all the way to the left is
meant to turn off hot water to the heater core. Can't tell for sure if
it does what it is supposed to do, fully, but I do know that my toes get
baked on a hot day. The ventilation box thing has funky seals and the
air can't be shut off all the way, either, so that may be part of my
trouble, too. However, removing the dash is the way to get to that
thing. Removing the dash is also, I am told, a miserable job.
