I installed new climate control temp and fan switches in my 997.1 Turbo to replace my peeling ones, but am having trouble getting them to work properly. I have everything back in place correctly (I think), but the switches no longer have any tension to them like they did before I took the climate control unit apart.

They do not spring back to the center position after being pressed one way or the other, and feel loose in their housing. What am I missing here that I should be doing to get the switches to rock back and forth like they should?

They are the climarepair V3. I purchased them in November. Had I known the new ones would be released after, I would have waited. That being said, they look alright. I just can’t seem to get them to work properly. I don’t think it’s the buttons themselves causing the issue, but who knows.

Ah, I see. I don’t think this is related to the arms. The mechanism that causes the buttons to spring back is a combination of the plastic pegs that go behind the switches and the rubber mat which the pegs push up against. It seems like the pegs aren’t engaging the mat properly. When I push the switch I can see it move the pegs. Then when I install the rubber mat I can hear the pegs moving, but it seems they aren’t moving enough to push against the mat and spring back.
