Hi,

I own a 1995 Eurovan Camper and have had trouble with the air distribution
system fan control switch. When I bought it in 1999, the fan speed control
only worked in position #4. The other positions didn't seem to turn on the
fan at all. The VW dealer "debugged" the problem and replaced the switch.
The new one worked well until I moved the control lever to the defrost
position. I then noticed that the first three positions were again not
working. Moving the control lever away from the defrost position had no
affect. Only position #4 works now. It has been mentioned that the problem
might be the resistor pack but since the control worked for a while when
replaced, I wonder if it is something else.

Any similar experiences out there? Any solutions? I dread having the dealer
"debug" it again at $70/hr!

Thanks,

Jon

It may not be the resistor pack, it may be the Thermal Cut Off (TCO)
fuse on the resistor pack. Its much cheaper to replace this then the
resistor pack. TCO fuses are available from many electronics
suppliers. Just be sure to get one with the same temperature rating,
mine was for 216c.

The resistor pack is only $20 and takes 10 minutes to install.

Cheaper?
