Will this blower switch work for both my front and rear heaters?

Yes, this switch is designed as a replacement for both the front and rear heater blowers in Vanagons from 1980 to 1991.

My original switch had 4 positions, but this one has 5. Is it compatible?

Yes, it is fully compatible. While the original had 4 positions, this replacement has 5 (Off, Low, Med, High, Off). If you turn it past the High setting, it will simply turn off; this will not cause any damage to your vehicle or the switch.

Does the included knob fit both the front and rear blower positions?

The included knob fits the front blower position. However, it is too short for the rear blower. For the rear position, you can reuse your original knob, though please note it may be a tight fit when pressing it into the switch.

Is this switch easy to install in my Vanagon?

Yes, customers find it easy to swap out. You can replace the switch without removing all of the sliding levers, though we recommend being careful with the plastic face frame during installation.

Interrupteur de ventilateur pour chauffages avant et arrière Vanagon.

L'interrupteur d'origine avait 4 broches et 4 positions (Off, Low, Med. High). Ce remplacement de rechange dispose de 4 broches et de 5 positions (Off, Low, Med, High, Off). Ainsi, cet interrupteur vous permettra de dépasser le réglage élevé, mais s'éteindra simplement, il ne fera aucun dommage et il n'y a rien de mal avec votre véhicule ou avec l'interrupteur.

L'interrupteur est livré avec un bouton (conception légèrement différente de l'original) qui s'adaptera à la position du ventilateur avant, mais pas au ventilateur arrière (il est trop court). Si vous réutilisez le bouton d'origine, il peut être serré et il peut y avoir des difficultés à enfoncer le bouton dans l'interrupteur.
