My air circulation switch just broke - Toyota Yaris Forums

The dash flies apart on these cars. They are like a snap tight model. There is a small peanut bulb for the back light it is a unique part and is a bit pricey. I paid 8 dollars Cdn for it. I think it tends to go because the fan and recirculate get used the most thus get jarred enough to pop the bulb. Glad you got it fixed. A word to the wise do not slam the recirc/fresh knob over quickly when the fan is full blast. The force of the air on the diverter flap probably puts a bit of stress on the cable assembly and will pop it off as it did to you ( luckily) or worse actually break something.

Cheers!
