As the title says it's broken. My questions are:
1. When the dash AC switch is on should the blower box lever be pushed forward or backward? I don't remember which way the selector switch moves the lever on the side of the blower box.
2. The cable is no longer connected to the switch. I can't even figure out where it connected. Is there a fix or replacement?
Thanks,
Tom

I think this photo, and the two that follow, will answer your question on the lever position for hot or cold.

Wish I could help on the second question, The control may have a broken pin (mine did) but I didn't take any photos of it that I recall, and no longer own a coach.

What happened on mine is that the retainer that holds the outer cable housing to the control head broke allowing the outer housing rather than the inner to move. It's a hokey setup and I merely wired the outer housing to the retainer. It's held a couple of seasons so far, but I have to admit that in AZ I probably only move it once a year anyway

Tom,
Turn on the air full blast and someone move the control arm back and
forth. In the AC mode you should feel cold air.
