This switch is prone to not working when dirt has collected into it.
Best is to open the switch carefully - remove the rocker. This can be done
by prying a screwdriverblade on one of the sides.
Carefully collect all parts and have these cleaned thoroughly.
Before reassembling have the moving internal parts greased lightly.
Have the switch moved in one go - and you'll hear the internals clcik again.
Good luck!

Subject: Heater switch and fan.
Hi gang,
I think I have a bad heater switch and a bad fan for the 70B. I'm using
a test light to check this so stick with me. I get power from the double
green wires on post 1 of the switch when I turn the ignition on. When I
flip the switch to on , no power transfers to post 2 or 4 on the
switch. If I jump the switch and connect the green and the
green/yellow wires, I get power to the fan but the fan doesn't run. I
disconnected the ground wire from the fan and tried to ground that wire
to a body bolt that was unpainted. No luck. I conclude that the fan is
bad and the switch is bad. Am I right or is it another problem I'm missing?
TIA
Jim
