I do not want to replace the entire a/c and heating control unit if I do not absolutely have to. I consider this a challenge to me from Land Rover.
The switch is stuck on 4...fan not running, of course. It stopped working when it jammed in that position. I took the dash apart, lots of fun, took the a/c control unit completely apart to access the switch. Switch pulled from unit, switch taken apart and cleaned, contact points look great now. Couldn't see the reason for it sticking in position 4, and it worked fine after cleaning and reassembly...so I refitted it. It's stuck in position 4 again, after a day of 'working'. Working is a loose term, as position 3 has not worked for about a year.
The switch said Siemens on it. I cannot, for the life of me, find any Siemens automotive switches on teh intarwebb! Any ideas? This has to be a replaceable item. I cannot fathom it being a separate piece from the a/c unit and still not being replaceable. Every place such as AB/BP/Roverconnection/DAP/etc so far gives no results other than to buy the entire unit. I will try the dealer when it is open.
I have emailed Siemens. Hope to get a reply. Any suggestions?
Thanks
