Discussion
i am rebuilding the above car can someone tell me if the the knob that turns on the a/c is a rotary switch. in other words a switch that just has two positions on or of
or is it a variable rotary knob (like a volume knob on a radio) which makes the air con progresively colder. if so how does that work as presumably the compressor is either on or off???? i presume.
or is it a dual action switch to click push to turn the a/c on or off and then turn to make it colder?
my switch is broken and i cant tell what it did. my thoughts are it a rotary two position switch on off but the gradiated graphics would suggest its a variable switch getting progressively colder the more you turn it.
it also has a red led light to tell you when the copressor is on
thanks

well i was hoping someone else would answer you, since it is in the service manual.
won't keep you waiting longer. it is a potentiometer(variable resistor) it adjusts the thermostat circuit linked to the evaporator located behind the radio and vent router assembly. the red light tells you when the thermostat is tripped. my car didn't come with the indicator light, and it is a different supplier than yours, so me telling you what parts are in mine, won't help you source your missing pieces. if your circuitry is twice as good as the one i got, it is stil crap. just yank a control off a current wreck, and splice it in. when mine fails, that's wht i plan. the courtesy light delay circuit failed on me this weekend, and i rewired a module from a junkyard VW to fit the same socket. more reliable than the plectron, and adjustable.

i think you summed it up quite niceley. My circuit is so weird the rotary switch is hard wired into the board the potentiometer bit (which looks like it was part of the original switch) sticks out somewhere else on the board.
Logicaly i would say that the rotary part broke and someone b
dised the switch and hard wired it in, but the holes that it is wired into on the board are original.
all very confusing
trouble is until i get it sorted i cant put the centre consul back together
its amazing how these silly bits stop you finishing a £20,000 restoration
ho hum
