Air Flow Control knob stuck 850

Greetings

My '96 850 Wagon Air Flow Control knob (sorry, don't have the book yet to give proper name but its the knob to go from face to feet to Defrost etc... on air flow) is stuck and requires vice-grips to turn but it does turn. Is it safe to shoot some WD-40 in there to attempt to loosen it up?

Also, the AC light doesn't light up when the switch is pushed to the left position (on?) and the recirculate light never goes off no matter what position the switch is in. The recirculate switch is wobbly so I'm also guessing I should just replace that unit. Is that the Heater Control Unit? and does anyone have a recommendation on a place that sells them?

Thanks

Enoyls
