Consumer Description

TEMPERATURE CONTROL ROTARY SWITCH VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. CHANGE FROM HOT SIDE TO COLD SIDE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. I BELIEVE RECENTLY THAT IT FAILED BEHIND THE DASH AS IT CAN NOT BE SWITCHED TO THE HOT SIDE ANY MORE. HAVE NOT REPAIRED YET - WILL EXPECT TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE CABLE. *TR
