I also took the time to spray some electronic cleaner on the pots on the backside of the HVAC Control Module. After I got everything together, I still had an HVAC fan speed problem. Only after I installed a new blower motor resistor did the HVAC fan speed problem go away. And the system is still working today per design specs. Did I fix multiple issues during all of this? Yeah, I did!

1) The Control Boards seating was fixed permanently.
2) Using Electronic Cleaner on the pots was a temporary solution & may surface again later on.
3) Replacing the Blower Motor Resistor will last until it fails down the road - it is a wearable item.
4) And while the procedure to kinda 'flush' the HVAC Duo Valve of any residue accumulated from the cooling system cleared up the lack of cool air during A/C Mode on the DS of the Dash, I'll re-build the Duo Valve sometime in the future. Easy task to do. (Note: So is the need to re-build the HVAC Duo Valve a clear indicator that the Cooling System needs to be Drained, Flushed, New Thermostat installed & Re-Filled with new Coolant? Probably!)
I'll be taking the car off the road soon and I'll check into all of this. I plan on flushing the radiator soon, before it gets too cold. That has to be the original coolant in there.
Thank you for your help and advice.
