 In a bit of trouble with a Ford Econovan 1998. I desperately need of a &quot;Right hand Corner light&quot; , the one I have is broken. It encloses the indicator light &amp;amp; the side light.
 I&apos;ve tried the wreckers but to no avail...!
 Any ideas, I&apos;m located in Australia.

 Thanks,
 Norm.]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 16 May 2012 00:06:33 EST</pubDate><guid><![CDATA[http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/78029]]></guid><dc:creator>Normbourne</dc:creator><dc:subject>Automotive</dc:subject></item><item><title><![CDATA[Car AC Which is Better Thermostat or Fan Speed Control]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/78012/Car-AC-Which-is-Better-Thermostat-or-Fan-Speed-Control?from_rss=1]]></link><description><![CDATA[My car AC got two controls. Thermostat to set heat or cool level. Then my blower got five speeds. If I want medium cool and highest efficiency which is better:

1. keep thermostat to max cool position and keep fan at lowest speed.
2. keep thermostat to minimum cool and keep fan at highest speed.
