Hello again, The switch on the air conditioner wasn't working. Bought a new/used panel off ebay. On the unit there is a white part that a cable plugs into, on this there are 2 white spikes on each side and they are broken. Had to tape the cable to keep it to stay in place.
We managed to get the intact white part off of the old one (rather difficult). I noticed a small spring on it and there's another one on the inside. We're thinking it is a part not meant to come off and rather leary of of trying to pry the other one out of the panel. Just don't like leaving it taped but maybe we shouldn't mess with it again. Are we right? Also, what is that cable? Many thanks
