Fan rocker switch repair/replacement?

Post by spence »

Rained hard, fogged up GOOD. Found my fan rocker switch is broken. Switch comes out. Is there a fix, or replacement?

Replacements are available. It may just be disconnected, the fan itself may be bad or the ballast reister has given up the ghost.

Thanks for the reply. No, mine works, my switch is physically broken, the top part w/logo comes out of the rocker. I can hold it in manually. Who carries them?

You can order it from Vicks Auto or IAP.

Haven't yet, sorting out a heap of mechanical issues at the moment.
Cool, when did you move out west?

Lane is in Nashville, I'm 30 mins east of it. Haven't been yet, looks way cool. Maybe this weekend for inspiration.
