    Thanks part is ordered and will be here tomorrow. I have the bezel pulled and the whole fan switch is kinda out. Maybe after I get the part I'll get a better idea how to replace it.

    Fan switch 1986 CUCV

    Found a new piece of information. The fuse wherever it is is fine. If I move the back side of the switch the fan motor runs. So I'm assuming I need a new switch? Would someplace like NAPA carry it? Any idea on the original P/N? Last how do you get the back part of the switch off?

    Sounds like you have it figured out but my 1986 rear window goes about 1/4 inch inside my tailgate. Not sure why others say it doesn't?
