What is this part called?
What is the vacuum and heater cable operated switch that sits on top of the heater box, under the passenger side dask? Not the one under the hood.
Mine has broke and I cannot find out what the part is called in my manuals to order a new one.
Thanks for the help.

They have been available from GM. I cant get to my parts books tonight, but if you give that part number to your GM parts guy, he can get the group number and thus look up the correct part for the sharks.
