AC switch for an euro W123
 

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for the complete switch (assembly and knob) of the A/C for an euro W123.

Thanks

Be more specific.... old 240D or modern style ACC dial?

I've got 1979 240D (USA) parts car with old style manual AC twist knob with blue swirl on it. Is this what you've looking for?

Thanks for your reply 240Dog. You're right, I gave no details about what I need. I need the switch that controls the blower motor speed. In my W123, the system has 3 big knobs. The ones on the right and left side control the heating for each side of the cabin, and the center knob controlls the blower motor. Besides that, there is a small scroll wheel that controls the activity of the A/C unit.

As I said I need the center knob and switch assembly, the ones that control the blower motor speed.

That's the old 240D manual A/C control panel

The bear is getting the switch out. You will have to remove the AC control panel cover. And the switch panel just above the AC control panel. The pictures on the post above show my daughters cars AC switch holder broken. It is a U shaped plastic piece that is pop riveted to the evaporator box. that piece prevents you from removing the switch out the AC control panel area. You will ahve to remove the upper swithes. Remove the connector, unbolt the front mount bolt and slide it to the side so the switch move towards the front. Then fish it out through the upper switch panel area.

Thanks for your help techguy512 and dmorrison. I'll buy the parts soon and let you know how painful it was to change the switch. Looks its going to be awful!
