Subject:Re: A/C switches are hidden and unaccessable

In the 85 there are no switches or fuses behind the left rear cabinet,
just bare hoses. Only late 86 and on have important stuff there and that
is why those have that section accessible.  The earlier system is more
primitive.

The later models with gray interior had removable shelves and a removable panel to access the area.
