Hi guys, recently had my air con re-gassed but told not to move the dash switch, leave it on front facing for air to come through the front facing vents. I did as they said but I still have the cold air coming through the dash/windscreen vents. Question could this be the switch that is faulty, if so (and I can get another one) is the dash panel switch a simple unplug/remove/plug in the replacement?

Hi there! Sounds frustrating to still have the air coming through the dash/windscreen vents even after re-gassing. It does sound like the switch might be the culprit if it’s not directing the airflow correctly. If you can get a replacement, the dash panel switch is usually a straightforward swap—just an unplug, remove, and plug-in job. Might be worth checking any connectors or vacuum lines behind the panel too, in case something came loose. Hope this helps, and good luck sorting it out!

Even though you're getting cold air through the front vents despite setting the switch to the front facing position, the switch itself could still be faulty. A faulty switch might not completely close the path to the windshield vents, allowing some cold air to pass through. Replacing the switch usually involves removing the dash panel, unplugging the old switch, plugging in the new one, and reassembling the panel.
