    Under the dash trying to straighten up some crap and found out why my heater switch isnt working. The orange wire was unplugged, went to turn it on and nothing. Do these go bad?

    They do go bad,,, take a fused hot wire and run to heater motor direct. Motor is probably bad or dire need of cleaning and pbblaster. If motor is good, check for power at switch. If you have power at switch, looks like switch is bad. Then you can jump wires at switch and see if motor runs. Price seems right for switch and if your motor is shorted out, switch got a good heatin in it and half a good idea to replace with your good deal.
