Question 04 Sequoia Blower Knob

[breedeb]

The Heat/AC Blower knob just spins and won't control the fan. How does it come off or how does it operate? Thanks

“AUTO” button
For automatic operation of the air conditioning,
press the “AUTO” button. An indicator
light will illuminate to show that the
automatic operation mode has been selected.
In the automatic operation mode, the air
conditioning selects the most suitable fan
speed and air flow, on- off of the air conditioning
and air intake according to the
temperature.
When you press the “AUTO” button with
the air intake mode at FRESH, internal
circulation may be applied for maximum
cooling.
When you adjust the temperature selector
to maximum cooling, a “MAX. COLD” message
will appear on the display and the
air intake mode will be automatically
changed to RECIRCULATE.
You may use manual controls if you want
to select your own settings.
In the default mode, air intake changes in
accordance with the temperature when the
automatic operation mode is selected. This
feature can be disabled by doing the following:
Turn the ignition switch to “ACC” or
“LOCK”. Turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” position while pressing the “AUTO”
and “OFF” buttons at the same time.
When the automatic operation of the air
intake mode is disabled, it may affect the
cooling performance. You can set the default
mode by the following:
Turn the ignition switch to “ACC” or
“LOCK”. Turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” position while pressing the windshield
air flow button and “OFF” button at
the same time.
Fan speed selector
Turn the knob to adjust the fan speed—to
the right to increase, to the left to decrease.
In automatic operation, the fan speed is
adjusted automatically unless you desire
another fan speed mode.
Temperature selector
Turn the knob to adjust the temperature—
to the right to warm, to the left to
cool.
The temperature display changes between
“C” and “F” when the unit of the outside
temperature display is changed. (For details,
see “Multi- information display” on
page 304 in Section 1- 10.)
“OFF” button
Push the button to turn off the air conditioning
system.

Thanks for all the info on the operation of how it is suppose to work. Mine did all of that at one time until the inner workings or something quit working on adjusting the setting. When you try to increase the speed, it just turns and nothing happens. You can tell something is broken inside. The knob doesn't seem to come off very easily, so I was looking for someone who may know how it comes off or what may be wrong with it.
