Main vent switch question
 

Hi Guys

I have attached 2 pictures with the "main vent switch" that I have.
I was wondering how this switch should look like since mine is broken...

There are actually 2 and they do work. I was wondering if I can press on both of them or only one at a time? I just dont know what should happen...
I can build some small metal device that will enable the plastic lever to press on those switches..

Thanks!

I have the same switch in mine and it boggled me for months. I think you can just flip the switch up so the lever catches it. Try it and report back.

I think that there is something missing there so the lever itself cant put pressure on those 2 micro switches...can the both micro switches be pressed in the same time? or only one at a time?

flip the switch up and on the inside of the lever. You'll see what I mean once you do it. Lever will then make contact. Kinda brushes the top of it.

Thanks! I will try to do that!

OK, so it was not possible to lift the switch since it has predefined place and it cant go up towards the lever.
I have disassembled this switch from its place and then I noticed that something was missing since it had small holes for a missing shaft that probably was connected to some metal piece that pressed on the 2 micro switches...

I then created a "V" shaped metal strip and using a thin metal pin I have created a shaft and combined them together.

I put everything to its place and here is the result:

Now the lever brushes that metal strip and activates the 2 micro switches one by one :D
