Is this a common problem with the fan switch to go bad after after a while?
Like the light switch? What about the defroster? I don't know if mine works
or not I haven't had to use it yet but the little red light doesn't come on,
on the switch.

Is there a way to test a heater switch? My blower doesn't work. I still have
good heat while cruising down the road, but warming up in the driveway or at
slow speeds, etc. It would be nice to have heat controlled by the mometum of
the fan rather than the Van.
