Last Sunday as we were returning home on the Blue Ridge Parkway, I was turning the blower switch down from high to medium and noticed how hot the panel was to the touch. So hot you couldn't keep your finger tip on the metal panel plate. In the low or medium position all was normal.
I talked with Dennis O. next morning and was told that the early cars did not use a relay in position 3 (high). Also if you have a loose connection things got hot. See the pictures to see how hot it got.
Easy test ....run in high position to see if the panel surface gets hot to the touch. You can remove the 6 screws and look at the switch to confirm a good connection. The fix. A relay, new switch, new terminal.
