In aviation we call it PFM. Pure F**king Magic! I will amaze every time.

Great news! I have a mechanic I work with and he does many British cars. Many times they arrive with a "problem" and as soon as he starts to look at the "problem", it's fixed! Don't know why or how, but it's working! Around the shop we call this "FM". Loosely translated it means: F**king Magic!
   Glad to hear you're up and running again and if my heater motor ever needs attention, I like your idea of closing off the top vents, thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks all for your patience and advise and I hope this gives some of you who have experienced similar situations a laugh.

Michael,

Hit the switch with a shot or two of contact cleaner before you close it al=
l up. It may have just been a little corrosion on the contacts.

Bill--

Thanks, and I will do that too.  I have actually found some replacement
Smith's switches online but they all appear to be used, so I'll stick with
mine as long as I can.
Judging by the prices Moss asks for new parts, such as a switch ($150.00+)
or core ($950.00+)  I am committed to keeping my car's present parts
operable about as much as my own!

Best--Michael Oritt

Bill--

Thanks, and I will do that too.  I have actually found some replacement Smi=
th's switches online but they all appear to be used, so I'll stick with min=
e as long as I can.
Judging by the prices Moss asks for new parts, such as a switch ($150.00+) =
or core ($950.00+)  I am committed to keeping my car's present parts operab=
le about as much as my own!

Great news! I have a mechanic I work with and he does many British cars. Ma=
ny times they arrive with a &quot;problem&quot; and as soon as he starts to=
 look at the &quot;problem&quot;, it's fixed! Don't know why or how, but it=
's working! Around the shop we call this &quot;FM&quot;. Loosely
 translated it means: F**king Magic!<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Glad to hear you're up and running again and if my heater=
 motor ever needs attention, I like your idea of closing off the top vents,=
 thanks for the suggestion.<br>
