i pulled out the assembly that has the defroster/air conditioner switches.
that was fairly simple,when i tried to remove the defroster switch itself
i was sure that i was going to snap the circuit board it is connected to.
the switch is worn out,sometimes it stays on,most times not,same with snowflake switch for a/c.
has anyone bought replacement switches and replaced them without
tearing up that circuit board,i checked pelican,but the switch looks like
it has pins.i don't want to buy complete assembly for $$$.
any help or advice is appreciated.
thank you,

944-653-923-00 looks to be the part# for that switch. It should be soldered into the board, you'll probably need a heat sync to keep from melting something when you solder it. Good luck

thanks for help.
i wonder if i can use one of those cold solder iron
when replacing switches.
explains why i had so much trouble trying to pry switch off.
