87 HVAC controls
Anyone have tips on the HVAC controls? Mine is intermittent, both the lights and the display. What would be a prime suspect, circuit board, power, switch, ??????. As long as it's warm and the top is off who cares ... but on those cold drives to work in winter it's kinda important. Sometimes it gets right toasty and it's hard to futz with it to lower the setpoint when you can't see the display.

Typical problem. Take it apart and resolder the cracked solder joints. There are a couple of large diameter eyelets that are filled with solder and these solder joints crack. Check all the other joints under magnefication.
