I tried to replace the blower motor control switch, but when I got the replacement part it only had 5 contacts instead of 6 like the orignal. We (Auto Zone & Car Quest) tried looking in the parts catolog for the right one but could not find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Did the wiring harness connector have 6 wires. It may not have but 5. Switch manufacturers sometimes don't put all the pins in if they know that they are not needed in certain applications. Check the wiring connector and see if it has a wire in the spot where the replacement switch is missing a pin>

Usually in a case like you are discribing, it's the blower motor resistor at first, and later the stress on the switch causes it to go out as well. The blower motor resistor is very easy to replace. It's usually a couple of screws, and a couple of wires, and is located in/on the blower box, and varies in location depending on the vehicle type. Finding the resistor is the hardest thing of the whole job. They're usually under twenty bucks, and take 5 minutes to change. I'd try this first, and if it still doesn't work, check the fuse, and then the second thing to change would be the blower switch. Usually the resistor does it in a case like this. GM products were known for this issue.

Sometimes, the wiring has to be modified to make a replacement switch work....look at the old switch terminals compared to the new one and see if any of the old terminals share a common contact point. If so, you'll need to splice the wiring for those terminals. Just be sure anything you splice can be undone if it does not work out. Or try geting a switch from a dealer.
