My '87 Oval dash Lux has a broken switch knob and it keeps falling out, leaving an annoying little light glowing away. Does anyone have a replacement? It's the air recirculating switch, commonly mistaken as the air conditioning switch. I don't need the switch, just the cover that goes over it. Can anyone help? Many thanks.... |

I recently replaced mine as it was worn and the black plastic had flaked off, looked all over for just the switch but ended up buying a complete heater control unit in the end. |

Is it worth placing a call to Porsche OPC? Just to see if there is a random box somewhere with it still in stock? |

I need one too...  damn annoying that glowing light. I think mine is somewhere under the seats but it keeps falling out again eventually.. Are the top and bottom switches identical apart from decal ? if so I'd settle for buying the other cover if you manage to get a whole heater control assembly . |

Araldite. Or even the cheap stuff from the pound shop... You bought a whole new unit because the knob fell off? Jeez, it's a different world in here.. Do you change cars when the ashtrays fill up? |

Do you change cars when the ashtrays fill up? I think you should at least look at a late 944. heater switch assembly before sounding off.  I think it may look like the image.The covers to the switches have a unique box shape with tiny locating bits which clicks into place on the push-to-make and push-to-break switches . ie it may not be like simple 924 switch

Yeah, welcome to the world of old cars. You can only buy what people are selling, and I can't find one for sale. I can't just glue it in because it needs to slide in its mount. I need to sit in a scrap car for a few minutes to liberate one! |
