Am I caught in a Behr trap?

I think you are on to something.  But, I would be much more concerned with the power/current rating of such a switch.  When I was on the Behr set up, the switch would get really hot - painful to touch hot.  This was the reason for me to "switch" over to a PWM type.

Checking if a Power on/volume switch (potentiometer)  would do the trick?  This is just an example.

It  has five posts. would this possibly power on/off the condenser-radiator fan while possibly working as a potentiometer for the blower?

 

Just would have to try and figure out the right resistance range. Or am I off base here? 

 

 

But it has no Off at the low end

That is true, but if the initial resistance is high enough it may essentially be an off button for the blower. 

 

Not sure if the switch can be used for on/off for both the blower/condenser and the varied resistance for the blower. Is that possible? 

 

Checking into more options. But need some more input from the electrical wizards. 

Loose: Not tightly bound. Subject to motion.
Lose: What happens when you are spell check dependent.

 

1975 Malaga. It is rusty but runs. Just like me.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
