Today I picked up the new switch, and attempted to install it. It seems I broke off more than one of the tabs that are required to hold it in place, so it wouldn't stay in place.

I used a zap-strap and managed to secure it in a manner that seems to work.

The dash is re-assembled and everything works fine.

I finished the job with a spray and wipe down of the dash and console and it feels like a new truck again.

I started by trying to access the heater unit under the dash. The deeper I got, the more difficult this seemed to reach, due partly to the AC condenser unit that is mounted beside and on top of the heater unit. Eventually I gave up trying to take out the whole heater unit and opted to unbolt the blower from the underside...
