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)

Been there done that.
From under the dash, you will see a nut holding it to the chassis. Undo that nut and it will slide out of the dash, though at this point the cables will be a problem. Might be able to tilt it enough to get your hand in there well enough to clean. Like Doug said, the plastic melted and pushed the contact in deeper. Cut/sand the bubbles, I used a sanding disc on a Dremel, and pull/bend the contact back to level. A lot easier to just swap wires. |
