Re: [DML] My defroster switch exploded!

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

There are two major causes of AC mode switch failures. Most common is the
detachment of the rubber vacuum deflector which results in partial or
non-operation of the air deflector flaps inside the air plenum.

Recently we have discovered a new problem. The rotating assembly center
shaft will crack from age and wear causing the switch to disassemble. These
controls are repairable but you may want to consider a new purchase. The
replacement switches have an additional contact that engages the AC
compressor when the defrost setting is selected; very useful for defogging.
