Heater Fan Switch alternatives??

[Jack S]

I am working on a budget FJ40 build. It did not come with a heater fan switch. Has anyone had luck with any other switch options out there. I know Toyota Matt Sells one for $185 but that is out of my price range for now. I do hope to stay with a push pull type switch, I know American Auto wire sells one thru Jegs or Amazon. Alternatives?? Thanks

I think the resistor for fan speed is on my fan motor, so the pull switch has off, hi, low. I think any 2 position that can handle the amps could be made to work. I put a rear heater from a 17 place chevy van in my 72. I bought a 3 position off,low,med,hi from NAPA for like $5 back in 85. It had the resistors in the switch. I think the med burned out in 2010 but the rest still worked.

Rotary not push pull but for $22

Not a purest.
