2002 Forester S
So, if I move the fan speed lever all the way to 4 it sticks and refuses to move back. I also have to jiggle it to make a contact and start the fan motor - pretty sure the speed is not set at 4 either. Randomly, I can switch it back and have working fan speed 1 & 2. Since the switch physically sticks I'd say it's definitely not a problem with the fan or anything else electrical up the line.
Purchased part # 72340A. Before I start disassembling the dash to get at the back of the panel, are there any tricks I should know? Does this 72340A switch just disconnect? Any other parts I should have gotten? The diagram is very poor at conveying information so I'm not sure how it all fits together back there. I'm thinking the knob and slider might have a whole other assembly that is the actual culprit.
