I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks

However, I've discovered worse news after going out tonight. The top left knob assembly in question doesn't light up now!! That's even more concerning and much more aggravating to go without. So if it's a mechanical cable that controls the switch, why is it affecting the backlight?

This sucks.

There are two connections on the back of that knob assembly - The mechanical cable for the diverter and an electrical cable for the fan speed control. You definitely need to pop off the AC control panel and take a look at what came off and how.

Great news, I fixed it!!!

Pulled of the center panels and found that the assembly behind the switch had simply popped off. I re-attached and it's as good as new. All in 5 minutes. Wonder how much the dealer would have charged.

Thanks for your help guys.
