On mine it uses vacuum from the a/c control head to open or close the valve. I think it's set to always allow a little bit of flow to keep the heater core from rotting out.

Your a/c controller doesn't use vacuum though.


The reason the heater control valve opens and closes is so that you're not pushing hot air into the car all the time. Imagine your heater core being hot in the middle of summer and you put the fan on for the AC. Who wins? The AC or the heat. There's only 1 fan, right?

It has to be regulated, or you couldn't drive the car in the summer.
