[W126 Coupe] Console Switches

[Jay Febish]

I had the same type of problem with my '91. Fan only worked on low for  
a long time then finally quit. I found out that it wasn't the blower  
motor though. It turned out to be the unit that looks like some sort  
of heat sink with a lot of prongs on it that is mounted on the motor  
housing. I don't remember what the piece is called though. It's been a  
few years ago.
