    Trying to determine the problem with my blower controls, only blows defrost. Seems the vacuum switch assembly has broken. Any idea where I can order a new one?

    I see them on eBay from time to time. I suggest you check the vacuum canister under the hood first. If it leaks...it will do the same thing. A small bead of silicone around where the nipple attaches to the "can" will fix the leak. Check the hoses as well.
