    I now have defrost. The damper which directs air to defrost vents is default position to defrost, so all good there. The damper which directs defrost vs. Front vents, I ran a zap screw in to hold it shut to defrost.

    It's easy to access for un- doing when I get the replacement switch, but for now, it's fixed.

    In retrospect on the dash repair:

    Using great stuff to fill the V grooves I cut where the dash had cracked: not so wonderful. The great stuff tends to create air pockets, although it does trim and sand easily.

    Using body filler to finish out the cracks repair: not the best idea to use a non- flexible medium for this application.

    If I were to do it again, I would try silicone for filling the V grooves. I would leave a lump, and trim it smooth with a razor blade when dry.
