power ventilation switch - rebuild?
My 1970 convertible came with the Power Flow Through Ventilation option (probably because AC was not available with the RA-IV). My switch is acting up. It looks like a convertible top switch except it says FAN in the middle with high and low when you move the rocker. Unlike the convertible top switch, it remains in the high or low position until turned off.
So 2 questions: 1., Can this switch be taken apart and repaired/rebuilt? 2. Does anyone possibly have a fan switch they would be willing to sell? I imagine this switch was used on other vehicles in the Pontiac or maybe even GM lines. Thanks, Jim |

I see the top switch is marked different and is a momentary switch.
But at $70 Im sure some parts can be made to work. Probably indak so not made to be disassembled or rebuilt but it is possible. I would secure a spare before touching it in case things go south.

I have a few spare momentary top switches but no fan switches. Best case I will open it up and hopefully just clean the contacts.

that is normally all thats needed.
Regrease the contacts when done cleaning the burnt spots on contacts.

Just to close this thread, there were switches advertised on EBay and The Parts Place but all were "out of stock" with no idea when new ones would come in. I took my switch apart, cleaned the contacts as per Cammer above and put it back together with some epoxy and Voila!, good as new (at least for now). Thanks to the forum.
