Re: IML: I "Fixed" the Fan but BROKE the Switch

Thanks very much Pete.  I believe I have found the part available at Auto 
Zone using your suggested part number and some creative searching.  Seems 
there are a bunch of alternative part numbers including 2096084, 2820487, 
3895790, 3431017, 3431020, 3502126, 3895033.  Auto Zome part SW259 from 
Wells for $19.99 seems to be the ticket - I hope!
