Hello, I hope you can help me out with my problem.

I have a '95 Prelude that has a heater control that's acting up. I can turn on fresh air and the heater without a problem but I can't switch between, say, air going to your feet and the defroster. The A/C works fine, when it's on. If I hit a bump it turns itself off and I have to wait to hit another bump before it turns it self back on. Recently, it has stopped working altogether; the A/C won't turn on and the air will only blow to your face.

So my question is: Given these symptoms, do I need to change the Switch Assembly or the complete Heater Control Unit?

Symptoms indicates it is more likely to be the control panel that is faulty, usually due to a poor connection somewhere on the circuit board of the control panel.
