Pitot Heat

[GMAs]

the temp is controlled by a little sensor that is glued to the top of the Pitot tube... its a little black button looking thing... it controlles the temp of the heater element... if you look in the service manual you will see it under the pitot heat... it allows the temp strip to get just so hot... hot... and then it will trip the sensor... to control it... see parts manual...

the illistrated parts manual show it complete and with the wire tie in the right place to keep the thing from melting down... the heater strip is glued to the strut... and the pitot is glued to the heater strip with RED high temp RTV.... again you should not be leaving it on on the ground.. as it will make the paint change color... smile...
