So after a year I've finally gotten around to troubleshooting why my fresh air blower fan doesn't work. Some deoxit and scraping away crud with a long screwdriver got the low and mid settings on the fan to work. It seems though that the little borders that create a detent in the slider movement between settings is preventing the contact arm from reaching the third setting. It's like the contact arm isn't long enough to make it over the last detent border. Anyone know if there's anything that can be done? Any adjustments?
You can (hopefully!) see how much bigger the last detent is in the pic. Not an easy shot to get through the ashtray hole!!! Attached thumbnail(s)

The last "detent" is deeper because at one point that connection got too hot and melted the plastic causing it to sink. I've seen it happen a few times. You can try removing some of the excess plastic and bending the arm some to make full contact. Also clean those connections real well so it doesn't happen again.
