where to find fan switch for 1965 Dart

[B Taylor]

My fan switch is broken and I need to replace it. Can someone tell me where to find one.
1965 Dart non AC car fan/blower switch it has 3 prongs in the back and a bracket that bolts in on the top passenger side.

I don't know if it's the same as a 65 Valiant switch, but if it is, I may have an extra 1 here. Perhaps somebody else can tell us.

'65-'72 A-body fan switches are interchangeable, IIRC, though starting in '68 or so the switch knob is shaped differently.

I saw that switch on ebay but seems a bit pricy. Hope to find a working used for a lot less. From what I can see is the switch was 65-66 Valiant and 65 Dart only. Later switches are the same except for the mounting bracket is completely different.

So they electrical workings/guts from a different switch body might be easily transferred. My focus would be on the bend tangs capturing the board. Hopefully that was consistent/unchanged. Good luck with it.

Im kinda late to the conversation but I have had good luck cleaning switches like this. If by broken you mean it doesnt work then you might be able to open it up and clean the contacts. These types of switches are very mechanical and not hard to clean.

Broken as a large amount of the switch was in the plug that was yanked out by the PO. NO repairable.

If the guts pulled out w/ the connector, but weren't broken apart, you might be able to re-assemble. That would be if the tangs just bent out. I was able to fix one in my 69 Dart by cutting teflon sheet to replace the melted plastic and sanding the contacts. Decades ago so my memory may be off. In all my cars, I installed a relay on the "blower hi" position. If not, the switch can melt (plus the expensive pneumo-electric push-button unit for those w/ that). True in most classic cars and I did similar in my 1980's M-B cars.
