Abstract

A control module for controlling the operation of multiple fluid pressure actuated devices and electrical devices, as in an automotive heating/cooling system, includes a one-piece sheet metal frame or bracket upon which a plurality of solenoid valves, circuit boards and a manifold are assembled in a compact, tightly, but easily assembled, package. The assembled package is of a generally rectangular box-shaped configuration with electrical and fluid flow connections located at one end to connect with electric and fluid connectors fixedly mounted on the vehicle to provide a simple plug-in-type installation of the module on the vehicle assembly line.
