Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
A/C Switch - facia-mounted switch for the air conditioning system.

Fitted in the heater and ventilation control panel of the centre facia, it is the driver's request input to the air conditioning circuit, signalling the system to engage the compressor clutch subject to the refrigerant pressure and temperature interlocks. A failed switch leaves the heater and blower working normally while the compressor never engages.

Frequently asked questions

What does the JTB500010LR switch do?
JTB500010LR is the facia-mounted air conditioning switch, fitted in the Defender's heater and ventilation control panel. It's the driver's request input to the AC system, signalling it to engage the compressor clutch once the refrigerant pressure and temperature interlocks allow it.
How do I know if this switch has failed?
A failed AC switch typically leaves the heater and blower working normally while the compressor never engages, so you get airflow but no cooling. Since the switch itself is a simple input, this fault is easy to isolate from compressor or refrigerant problems.
Which Defenders does the JTB500010LR fit?
JTB500010LR fits the Defender Puma (2007-2016) with factory air conditioning fitted from new. Defenders without factory air con typically use a blanking plate in the same facia position instead.
