    fan slider switch

    Hi Folks, Trying to find results about heater fan slider switch . I am having intermittent on/off with position 4 , when I move it slightly, it works again. so i suspect its the switch contacts ? Is it correct that whole dash has to come out to fix or replace slider switch ? Thanks

    power steering leak
