By stuck, I mean that I can't adjust it at idle.  It
moves around a bit while the car is warming up, but
then, once warm, it's at 50 and only responds to
tripping the FT switch.

I will check the possibility of the switches being
swapped. I hadn't thought of that. Thank you.

I've gotten a few responses. Hopefully, I can find one
locally.

Regards,

Alex
