Top heater /selector control **** bent

I have a 99 , and I went to turn the top heat selection **** ( the one that sends it to defrost, mid vents , low vents etc) and it was kinda stiff and didn't feel right. Can someone check there's and see if it has the angle like mine? Nobody messed with it, so maybe it's just me thinking its bent . Here's a pic . See how the one below sits nice and flush ?

Chances are the rotary vacuum switch has come apart, while dodge says you can't replace the switches individually and must replace the entire assembly, what they really mean is you can't "buy them" individually but they can be replaced separately, get one from a wrecker.

Yes they are supposed to be flush, but are you sure it's not just the **** as the ***** were a known problem breaking.

Yes. Do you have power heated mirrors?

If not, I have a whole unit out of my 01.5 that is in perfect condition. I switched mine to the P/H mirrors.

Let me know if you need it.....
