I'd suggest removing the entire dash from the car, rewiring it and then putting it back. That way you can deal with a thousand other nagging details, for example the heater bowden cables, lubing the speedo etc etc from the comfort of your workbench. That would be a great time to rebuild the heater valve too.

I also strongly recommend changing the car over to column shift and donating the pushbutton unit to the Museum of Needless Complexity, for display in their Painful Unreliabilty Gallery. Just my opinion. And experience.
