Default Air flow switch stuck on.

I am having a problem with the airflow switch in my ser 2. When I switch it off it stays on low and won't go off.....if I physically hold the switch in the off position it will switch off for a second or two and then come back on. It would appear the switch is broken or there is dirt or something interfering with it.
My question is do I need to remove everything to get to it or is there an easier fix?

Jim,

Radio out, knobs off, 2 switch nuts off, CAREFULLY remove that facia, watching the fibre optic strands, and then you will see 2 SMALL hex heads, at 12 and 6 o'clock.

Reach in the radio opening, slim fingers helps, and feel the nuts at the back, and tighten the small bolts firm.

I have found they loosen with age, opposite to us, and a simple tighten restores normal function.

I have never removed that switch, but it looks like fun, not.

Well it's done (and the top of my finger is Numb!)....mine were two nuts to tighten....it's certainly a lot better it switches off most of the time. The top nut shown in the pic is the difficult one to get behind!!







Thanks again Grant.
