How do you fix a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe blower speed dial?

Answer 1

The problem lies in the blower switch. You can buy the part from your local dealer for about 20 U.S. dollars. In order to remove the part for replacement you will need to remove the whole climate control panel.

1. On the panel behind the cigarette ash tray there are two screws that mount that section of the dash. Remove the screws.

2. Gently but firmly remove the panel.

3. You will need to unplug the cigarette lighter adaptors and the control wires from the control panel before you can completely remove it.

4. You should see a white box on the reverse side of the A/C control panel with a black protrusion that looks identical to the part you purchased. You will need to remove a screw, pull out the LED light and depress a stopper in the circular base of the black protrusion to rotate the part so that it can be removed.

5. Gently but firmly separate the black part from the control box by pulling it out. It may require some effort.

6. Re-assemble the control panel with the new part following the above steps in reverse order. Be sure to place the dial in the correct position for the switch otherwise it will blow high when set to low and blow low when set to blank!
