Is this in a (NATO) Ambulance ?

If so, then it controls the heater on the floor between driver and passenger seat.

No, it's not the webasto heater, it is the convector connected to the engine cooling circuit that sits on the floor in the cabin, right from the driver's seat. That is at least the original position.

The fact that is very stiff to operate is probably because the control that it operates is stuck. Between the lever on the dash there is a (bowden) cable running to the control. You can find that control if you remove the engine hood in the cabin, it sits right from the engine, you can see the cable attached to it. In my case the plastic knob was worn out and the control was stuck. Not a very robust implementation of a nice design :-).

Hope this helps and best regards,

Gerard
