Default Replaced blower resistor, still no 2nd position

I replaced the blower motor resistor in my truck because I wasn't getting all the speeds on my blower. After I replaced it I didn't see any improvements, still missing the second speed setting and need to jiggle the third to get it to work. I am pretty sure the problem is the switch. I have hunted on ebay and everything I find looks different than what I have in my truck. Is this a part that I will have to go to the dealer to buy? Or does someone here know of a source to pick this switch up at? I have attached a picture of my blower controls.

I checked ebay and I found one that says it is for 88-96. That the pic is not of what it is for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-88...2em118Q2el1247

But It sounds like its going to have to be a junkyard part. I dont think dealer would even have it. You can try https://www.dodgeparts.com/oe_parts_...e2cf8fa4e8846c It says they have heater controls.

my buddy has bought several dash, heater, steering column type parts from the dealer. pricey, but easy, and they have all the exploded parts lists and pictures. some of this stuff is plastic, w/vac lines, etc. a junk yard one would be just as brittle and broken as yours.
