Heater blower switch

I only get blower in the full on all the way up position. In the other spots nothing happens. I don't even know how many settings there are. Is this a contact fix or replace the switch fix?????????????

Inside the heater box is a small plate with resistor wires on it. This is the part that gives you the variable speeds for the fan. It plugs in from the outside(if I recall), so make sure it didn't fall apart. Beyond that it might be broken completely.

The indentations are still solid at the switch if anything it is stiff. I will check heater box.

1971/72 F100/350's list two different heater blower switches.

One for the standard fresh air heater: C7TZ-18578-F

One for the deluxe fresh air heater: C8TZ-18578-A

Not sure which one you have?

Green Sales (800-543-4959) has both...if you end up needing a new one, they can compare what you have with theirs. That way, you'll get the correct one.
