Default Climate Control Display is gone, Help?

My climate control has slowly gotten dimmer and dimmer over time. I have been doing other mods and let this issue go for some time. Now I have nothing and either need to replace it or fix it. I know some of you guys have had yours fixed, I need info on who does it.

Is there a vendor that will do an exchange? I don't feel like taking it apart and doing the fix myself as I just don't have the patience and time.

Which vendors do this fix and what is the aprox cost? Thanks for your help with this.

It's very easy to do. Takes 10-15 minutes at the most.

I would recommend trying it yourself. If not, post in your regional section to see if someone will come help you do it.

Hell, I would do the work for free if you were near me. It's easy.

If it wouldn't take very long, I would like to send him everything in my car to switch over the bright white LEDs. Just not excited to tear apart the whole car is the problem.

Here is a link on how to access the unit for removal. I used this to remove mine to fix. You only need to go part way (console removal) since it is for getting to the instrument panel.

Let us know if you need more help.

I agree - check with JW Motoring on what he can do for you.

However, if you want to try it yourself, I have some Word files on fixing the HVAC display issue. If you'd like a copy of them, PM me your e-mail address.

I might need your help I have the same issue, but If it's fairly easy I could try doing it myself first
