Front Air

[John]

Bill,

Don't feel like you are the only one that has done that, I have found
that the location of the switches, is very prone to being turned off
by the arm rest on my drivers seat, when it is slid sideways and now
that is the first thing that I check when one of the three roof airs
on my 'Bird does not work.

My switches are actually on the dash' not on the wall. My XV had the
switches on the wall by my arm and as you described I would knock them off.
I bought drawer handles wide enough to reach over the switches(top to
bottom). Mounted them on the switch plate so they covered the switch
protecting them from being unintentionally turned off. You can find
handles that will match the color of the switch and they look quite well.

On the 89SP the relays are alongside the breaker panel. Find the
screws in the grey fabric covered surround by feeling for depressions.
If relays are not there then pull the wood panel around the drawers
in the aisle side of that cabinet.
