I’ll put some more R134A in. Got a new toggle switch today from Advanced Auto parts. It is pretty close to what was in there without spending $100 on an exact new one.

I looked at the water valve today looks like it’s working. Although the heater core still gets pretty hot.

Took out the water valve and replaced it with a normally open ball valve. Toggled to A/C on valve closes. Turn off/heat on valve automatically opens. Works great, no more hot water getting in while AC is on.
Any advice on how to "force it closed" while I wait to swap it for a manual valve?
Noob question - how much coolant will leak out when I do eventually remove the valve for the manual style?

Pop The servo out of the holder ( has 2 metal fingers holding it in place) push the unit forward to close the valve and snap it back into the holder in that forward position. That will hold the valve closed so you have AC . no coolant loss at all.
Just to confirm I’m doing this right - the little C shaped piece turns the valve? Forward is AC and back is heat? My truck has heat but the C lever was mid way between open and closed.
The last pic is how I left it….AC??
thanks to everyone for your help

When the servo heats up it extends out pushing the C forward to close the valve, as long as the C is pushed as far forward as it will go and you snap the servo back into the holder to hold forward pressure on the C you should be great.
