I don't have any pics at the moment of my AC controller but here are a couple from the eBay post listed above.

This AC controller sits behind the dash (lower middle) and has a bunch of the wires from the AC knobs that are on the dash, running to it.

I am prepping to take care of a bunch of little issue on the van this winter and want to source all the parts before I dive in. I was hoping to not have to pay over $100 (after taxes and possible custom fees) for a used part. I was wondering if anyone knew of a possible replacement for this controller. Or has scrapped a Behr AC system and is willing to sell their controller for a more reasonable price.

I am starting to contemplate remaking the board myself. But there does not seem to be much of a need for these at this point since I have not seen any other post here on the Samba discussing this AC controller. Maybe I will just try and repair the one I have.

If the part worked and I didn't have to make one at $100.00 I'd be happy as hell.

but, they'd rather try to chase a Chinese one and when a legit one comes on the market for 100 bux they want to waste more time trying to be cheap. I guess the value of their time is worthless and fighting for a refund is a better way to spend time...

Don't even know why I post the links to shit people are looking for anymore.

Well I was able to purchased an AC controller on ebay for under $70 but now have discovered the temperature control potentiometer (dial for min or max AC) is not working and the PO had bypassed it. I am trying to figure out what the specs are for this potentiometer used on the Behr system in my 83.5 Westy, so I can replace it. I have looked the Behr parts and installation manual posted earlier and have done many searches but have not had any luck. The only markings on the potentiometer is: 7010509010 235233 as you can see in the picture below.

I was hoping some of the experienced gurus here might be able to help me with my dilemma.
