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.

Great news! I have a mechanic I work with and he does many British cars. Ma=
ny times they arrive with a "problem" and as soon as he starts to look at t=
he "problem", it's fixed! Don't know why or how, but it's working! Around t=
he 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 nee=
ds attention, I like your idea of closing off the top vents, thanks for the=
suggestion.
