I certainly did not see this coming. I must have left the front fan on high when I parked Sunday evening and now it cannot be switched to any other setting. Runs fine on setting 3 but it's determined not to be turned to any lower setting. The plastic knob pulls out of the dash easily and I see that it is ALL plastic, including the shaft with the two flats that fits into the switch body. I'm reluctant to put muscle on it lest it snap (how did I avoid that?) and I'm planning to modify a 16d nail for use with Vise-Grips. We shall see. I'm determined not to rush out there and do something stupid that will break it. I'll take my time, investigate, and massage it with the correct tools and a mechanic's skill until I break it the proper way. Stephen
