Re: Fan Switch

i think it's your whole switch that needs replaced because if it would only work on high but then again may be your heater moter. you got three settings on that one switch right?

The fan switches are known to melt on these cars. Mine melted.

Re: Fan Switch

A lot of the time, they just fall apart. The plastic housing is two pieces that snap together, the snappy bits lose their flexibility and fail under the spring tension. In many cases, you can squeeze it back together and smear some epoxy on the sides to hold it together, I've also seen a zip tie as a pemanent solution. Remove the glovebox, reach around there and hold it together while trying it, if the clicks come back and it works, you just need to glue or clamp it.
