Hi
Over the last few weeks the blower switch on my Ibiza has started playing up
First the low setting would not work, then the second lowest, last week the 2nd highest - leaving me with "max" and I have no idea how long that will last

I'm guessing this is a problem with the switch - perhaps some resistors are burning out?

Is this a known problem? If so what is the standard solution? Buy a new switch?

Cheers!

Ha! I just read up on it and it looks like this is a well known issue with blower switches
Looks like I have to buy a new blower switch or at least the resistor pack behind it

Any suggestions on sourcing the part would be appreciated

Usually when the resistor is failing it defaults to the max speed(no resistance), supplied several at work this month so that’s where I’d look first.
