Postby rushing » Sun 11.11.2007, 09:55

hi
My bottom heater switch snapped off from the palstic . the plastic bit is stuck inside the hole of the switch. I can turn the bottom slider to hot but cant put the bottom switch back in place. The threads and plastic bit is come lose and stuck inside. I cant turn the switch clockwise or cant even put the thing switch back in. Do i have to remove the dash fully? . [i]please see pic of switch[/i]. Any suggestions please ???. I am getting cold in the car now as its winter and have no heat blowing out . Desparatly need your advise .
thanks

Pull off the other one and the knob for the blower speed.
Then the trim panel will come off, which will give you access to remove the broken plastic.
After that you can either try super-gluing it, or look for another (I think they're off some Australian Holden or something).

When the bulb went in mine I had to remove the whole dash section to get at it!! Took several hours what a pain.
