When my fan switch recently crapped out, I attempted to get the replacement from Land Rover only find that you must purchase the entire assembly for $140. Being frugal, I turned their tempting offer down. Doing a little research, I discovered that the rear AC switch assembly contains the same switch as the front, and that assembly can be purchased for $65 from Discount Rovers or $84 from the dealer. Not much of a savings, but I'd rather pay $85 than $140 for the switch. Removal and installation of the new switch is relativily easy and straight forward. I am on the hunt to find a distibutor for that switch. Has anybody located one? If I find one, would anybody be interested in getting a switch for their truck? Ordering several switches could be less expensive than ordering my paltry one or two.

I tried to take the old one apart and clean it. Improved a little, but switch is still tempermental. Ray   Paul T.

My fan has a toggle switch attached to it, after replacing the OEM switch twice. Refitting a different switch is difficult as the circuit requires one relay to be energized for low speed, and while that relay is hot, switching others in as the fan speed increases. I figured a two speed system was better than none.

I haven't given up yet! This switch can't cost more than $20 from a distributor, I just have to find him!
