Guide to Removing the Climate Control Switches

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Blower motor

The necessary tools are a flat screwdriver, pliers, and a cloth to avoid damaging the knobs.
In this case, the air fan is not working due to a fault in the speed control knob, so start by positioning the three controls vertically. Using the pliers wrapped in the cloth, pull out the three controls as shown in the video.
Now remove the main trim using the flat screwdriver, which will help extract the next trim with the symbols.
At this point, it is clear that the control is not functioning due to the detachment of a metal strip that provides the contact, so proceed to reinsert it into the control housing, as shown in the video.
