***** Available for Blower Motor Switch??

Man I'm having a tough time finding a chrome **** for the blower motor switch on my 1972 Cutlass Supreme. I actually need 2 of them since it has a rear defroster too. I ordered a set from year one that were listed as 68-72 but they're not even close. I see the blower motor switches for sale quite often but have never seen one with the ****.

Does anybody know of a source for these? I might have to buy an entire control panel for parts but that's probably more expensive...

Thanks

Pm me your address & I'll get two of them on the way to you. When you get them, just pay me what ever they're worth to you.
Thanks.

I'm having the exact same problem. Can't find anyone that has the correct matching blower motor ****. Anyone else have an extra or know where to purchase?

These are the ones I bought from Year One...advertised as 1967-1972 but they sure don't fit anything on my '72. I think It's a catalog listing error. They even show the control panel with the correct **** in the catalog. That was $10 wasted....

I had the same problem years back when i was looking for *****.
Those at year one (and also sold at a couple other places) must be Chevy parts. I have seen them inthe catalogs for many years.
YO should have paid to have them returned and your $ refunded!

I'm thinking about returning them but shipping is so expensive it's probably not worth it.

I knew they didn't match in the picture but I at least thought they'd fit!

THEY should pay for the return shipping AND refund the shipping to you (if you did not buy anything else.)
OPG did this when the power window kit they sold me wouldn't fit.
If enough people called them out on these *****, maybe they would stop claiming they are Olds parts.

You're right, I'll have to look into that. Can't remember their return policy but I'll check. Even if I get a $10 credit with them that would be cool.

Call them. Since it is THEIR error, you should be credited in full. At least a good company will do it without asking.
If cheap enough they might not even want them back...

***** are are their way back to Year One with a pre-paid shipping label. I had to ask for it but they gave it to me with no questions asked. Glad you guys talked me into returning them.

Great! If enough people did this, they would be inclined to fix their listings.
