Default climate control unit repaired

I took the advice of the forum on how to repair the climate contol unit when light goes dim or all the way out. It took me about 3 hours to fix and the directions were perfect. Thankyou for your continued help in repair problems and saving me money this fix cost me only $10.97. All vettes are red

I had to do it too. I soldered twice in my life, this being the second time and did it with no problem.

That's my next project since I'm replacing the stereo I might as well do them at the same time.
