Climate Control Repair
I repaired the climate control head on my '93 and made a video of it. Saved lots of money and it was a fairly simple repair. Enjoy and share the knowledge!! Take it easy - Ozz

Good video Ozz... I cleaned the unit in my 96 a couple years ago and it is a fairly easy job as your video shows. Just have to take your time and be gentle...
Saved me about $425 vs the dealer cost... Anyone following your video should be OK. Thx.

Thanks a lot for the video!!!
I´m just having those problems; AC buttons usually work fine, but simetimes they didn´t.
The other day I could not turn off the AC and a couple of days after that when I started the engine of course it was still running, but at that moment I could shut it off.
I was thinking that I had to change the AC head, and living outside US would be an expensive problem.
Can you tell me if I must disconect the battery or the fuse to do this or it is not necessary?

Nice video, that will be my next project. In the Spring, I replaced the micro switches in my info center with parts from Radio Shack and saved a ton of money. C4's are almost as much fun to work on as drive. (almost)

Great video! I wouldn't have had the guts to tear into that control panel but after seeing how to do it I will be able to when it starts to act up. I have been dreading the time the climate control starts to fail.

You mention at 6:28 that the head unit should be pointing down but did not mention why. For those of you attempting this repair, the reason it needs to point downward is that all the buttons in the control head will fall out if its inverted.
Video is good overall. Now, wouldn't it be great if he did one to replace the heater core!
