    HVAC Climate Control Spider & Cable

    I broke the temp lever on my spider & I'm upgrading to the rare 1989 spider & cables. You can read about it HERE

    I took some photos before installation that could help someone in the future. I still haven't learned how to make my uploaded photos large like Dogfish & Tim, so I apologize.

    Here are the ends of the upgraded cables. You can see they are completely different. The blue & black cables have circle ends that push down over the studs while the white cables have studs on the ends. I marked the notch in the cable because this signifies the spider end of the cable which is clear on the white cables but the blue & black both have the circle adapters on both ends so its easy to install them backwards like I did. So make note & save yourself some time if you do this. Also if you decide to make yourself a set of cables you'll need to cut a notch in the housing. It's important to secure the housing so the cable moves inside & does what its suppose to do at the other end. Here are the part numbers for these outta print, outta stock, outta site cables :

    Here is a top shot of the rare 1989 spider Toyota part # 55910-28150 - The studs on the temperate control lever are part of the update & make the updated spider easy to recognize from its older version.

    Here is the bottom of the updated spider. The circle shows the hole to connect the cables. The hole is much larger than the hole in the old version. The old cables don't work very well in that hole - believe me - I tried.

    Here is my spider with the A/C control, blower switch, front panel, & lever ends installed.

    This page from the manual helped me very little. But I still had it cut out so I could refer to it if needed.
