I learned from Tim Hannink that the two AC switches in the over head
above the dash are imminently cleanable and reparable should one give
trouble. When visiting here, he helped me with my AC and took those
switches completely apart, cleaned them, checked their operation
electrically with a meter, re-assembled and re-installed them for me. I
have long considered the Vanagon to be one of the easiest vehicles
around for the home mechanic to work on - and a shop mechanic for that
matter - but I had no idea at all that those switches were designed like
the rest of the Vanagon - specifically for ease of maintenance. But it
is do-able on those switches also.
