Default Driving with HVAC C68 disconnected?

Hey all, almost dumb question (the dumbest question is the one not asked).

I've got my HVAC C68 out of the car, trying to find and fix the light problem. I might be sending to Bryan soon.
Would there be any damage, etc, if I start the car without the C68 in place? I don't think so, but she is my Lady, gotta make sure.

The control head? you will be fine.
If your talking about lighting your buttons, it's probably poor solder connections.
Cleaning big connector would help also.

Just park it. I had an AC issue and I parked it because I don't want to drive a car with no AC in the summer. If you don't mind, you can drive it.

I'm actually fine driving around with the windows down in 90F weather. Some health conditions are useful.

Yeah, the lights are the issue, they are out but will work sometimes. Controls themselves work fine, as long as I keep track of what I set the temp to.
