Thanks very much to West Peterson and HH56 for the good information and pictures. Apologize for the delay in responding but it seems like I can only get to these things on weekends these days!
I checked out the under dash switch again. After scouring the car, I found one of those cream colored knobs under the seat. The knob fits over the light bulb and onto the switch. As your turn the knob there are several positions for activating the speeds of the blower fan that is part of the heater complex. The light turns on when you turn the knob on for several of those positions. I was able to turn the switch off so that the light was no longer on but the body of the switch still stays burning hot. I can't seem to get it turned off so I am not sure if the switch is faulty or if the wiring is not connected propery. Need to do more detective work because I am always concerned about electrical parts overheating. I am attaching photos of the heater. Thanks again!!!
