1971 B Body AC Blower Switch Repair Question

[crahill39]

Seems I am having a helluva time sourcing this switch and was hoping someone out there might have a solution on how to repair these or make another year model work. Anyone?

Thanks,

Craig

What is "broken" about it? I'm no expert on this, but if it's just not making contact on one or two of the speeds AND you can gently get it apart, you might be able to just scrape/clean the metal contacts & re-assemble it. If it's physically broken, then maybe some plastic-epoxy (usually 1min or 5min with a mercaptan pt.B).

A better answer (maybe)... does it look like this one on Ebay for $35? Back when there weren't any repro parts, I used to modify some C-body stuff for use in B-bodies.

It is broken and charred. I am guessing the motor drew too many amps and smoked this thing. Can't find a replacement for this particular switch as it is different because of the AC function.

All over ebay.

This page shows how I restored mine on my AC Coronet. Was not about to pay $200 for a NOS switch. They are simple assemblies and if you have small tools like a Dremel and with eye enhancement visors!
