Do you think Coulthard demanded his gearstick and clutch pedal back
after he took 3sec out of the lap times?

Nah, they had to ban IVT/CVT, all auto and semiauto shifting to force
him to use a stick shift.

Okay, so it's getting a bit colder here. Hit 38 the night before last and
we may actually have to turn the heat on in the house soon.

..But I've got a new issue with the car that just won't die. The twist
knob that adjusts the fan setting for AC, fan or heat works great! ...But
the contacts must be wearing off or a fuse gone because setting 1 and 2 do
not work. That means when I want just a little bit of heat once the engine
is warm, I can choose 3 or 4 or turn down the temperature.

Anyone know what causes this to happen and maybe how to fix it?

I was fine with 1 not working. ...But now that 2 has disappeared, I'm
starting to worry about winter if 3 and 4 go bad too... That would force me
to bundle up quite a bit and/or get a new car or 12V heater...

If it matters, it is a 1997 Nissan Sentra with 207,000 on it. Other than
minor stuff like this, it runs like a top and doesn't eat a bit of oil. The
back doors are stiff from never taking on passengers and I'm convinced it'll
be another car, a deer or rust that eventually makes this commuter's dream
car die.

..Or lack of heat on a 10 degree morning!

Usually it will be the resistor pack that controls the fan speeds, though I
have seen the same symptom caused by burned contacts in the switch.

The resistor pack will be a little block screwed into the air box, behind
the glove box. Look for a connector with four or five wires. Its not the
end at the fan, but out by itself on the air box. Usually held in by a
screw on each end. You should be able to pick one up from the local junk
yard relatively cheap.

If that doesn't fix it, take apart the dash switch and look for burned
contacts. If its the switch, it'll be obvious when you take it apart.
Repair by replacing the switch (same junk yard, probably from the same car)
