I'm probably going to go to heck with this posting. Here goes. I was rewiring my stereo and one thing lead to another with me breaking the AC switch on the dash obard of my 1984 DL wagon. The toggle switch broke right off.

So, if igure out how to get the switch off the dash panel, and do the same to my crached Volvo. That's why I'm doing this in the first place because some driver sideswiped my other Volvo while parked.

I noticed this large wire coming out ot the top of the AC control leading to the right side of the AC plumbing. So I clip it off using diagonal cutters. That wasn't a good idea. A small click was heard and then I realized that wire was copper tubing. Gah.

What do I do now?

The tubing has Freon in it, just a small amount. Broken = need new switch.

Just be careful when pulling another. Note how the end of that capillary tube is placed and wrapped onto the tubing and evaporator. Note the wire connections, too.

None of my 1984 240s had a toggle switch a/c control. They had knobs which tripped a micro-switch.

Good Luck,

Bob

believe me you are not the first

I called an AC shop and they said to replace the thermo switch. So I went in and pulled away the sticky covering and found two clamps holding what's left of the sensor tubing. Dang. Time to go to Pick and Pull and grab the part.
