Finally fixed my A/C display

The display on my climate control unit slowly went out a few months ago. For months I could smak the side of the console and it would come back on but that stopped working. The fix is easy just resolder the 8 surface mount resistors. I also replaced the back lighting in the unit because half of them were out. Everything works good now.

Good job. Gives you a little satisfaction doing it yourself.

Glad you got it fixed. It's amazing, that the hardest part of doing most of these repairs is just getting up the ***** and the determination to finally fix it. But when you're done and it works, it makes you feel so good!

I'm glad you got yours fixed!

In spite of criticism, my no solder fix is still working.

I finally fixed my A/C head and right window regulator. Best part was getting to finally hang up my leather mask with zipper mouth! Now my C5 is no longer my "beater"
