Evening people, it seems the recirc-fresh air switch is stuck on fresh (AU1)
Is there any way of fixing this at all? Cheers

Define stuck?
The button is stuck down, or it is stuck on one setting no matter which position. Cheers

If it's doing that, i would say the micro switch inside of the button is stuffed.
It can be fixed. It should be easy for parts as it's a generic electronics micro switch, so jaycar/dicksmiths should have it.Assuming thats the problem. As for getting to it, you need to pull the fascia out, then unscrew the heater controls, then pull the heater controls to bits. Then solder in the new switch, and put it all back together. Just pulling it apart would confirm if it's the switch or something else. It's tricky to do, but easy if your confident with you hands on skills. If you need/want a tut for pulling the fascia out, their is one round here i wrote up that i can find. Cheers
