Re: AC-Heater control switch question

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply Gary. I see the article on repairing the switch but the 
link to the article on modifying the 5 button switch no longer works. I have 
a modified switch in my 63 Fury and it works fine. I'm just not sure if the 
same switch will work to replace the 4 button AC switch in my 64 Belvedere 
because the fan has 2 different settings with AC and I think there might be 
another electrical connection for the AC. Can't tell until I take the whole 
dash apart (again %#%&&%) to get at it. It was working fine until I put the 
AC on Sunday and now all the buttons are jammed up and I can't turn the fan 
or the AC off unless I pull the fuse. Even tried to manually pull the COOL 
button out first but still can't push in any of the other buttons. Actually 
there's a new 4 button switch on ebay right now but besides the fact I'm not 
sure it's the same switch for AC I wont be buying it anyway for $395.00 
Guess who the seller is. I wouldn't pay that for the switch if Frank 
Mitchell came to my house and installed it for me.
Oh well I guess I'll worry about fixing it when I get back from Carlisle. 
Hope to meet some of you at the Survivor's tent on Saturday at noon.
Dan
