Has it ever worked? If not you have a base model with the switch but not the required BCM perhaps.

what is involved in fitting one then, seems a waste to have the switch

I have a 2002 SR and mine works fine so i'd say your switch is faulty

I have had the odd issues where it prefers to stay on the slowest speed ... I just flick the speed adjustment back and forward and few times ... turn them off and on again ... and it sorts itself out again.
