You must very carefully remove the lever panel , prying next to the two plastic pins that hold it to the dash(top right corner , lower left corner) and then you can easily replace the switch. Sometimes , no matter how careful you are , a pin on the panel breaks. I sell the in my Ebay store in case (Ebay name : warmerwagen)

I purchased a new front 3 speed heater switch to replace my broken one
(Thanks Ken). My question is do I have to pull the dash to get this
installed. What's the trick?
