Electronic climate control - Dim-to-no visability
All:
My 2000 C5's electronic climate control display began to dim and finally pretty much gave it up. I'm sure this had been discussed here, my thread searches were ineffective, though.
In the dark of night you can still see it, and everything works fine...
Any ideas beyond replacement?
Thanks!

Well.....
99 times out of 100.... you just remove it... hit all the solder joints with a gun, and it is as good as new... seems they just have bad solder joints..... Try it... it is easy to remove and replace.

your thread searches were ineffective, but It took me about 5sec to find this using the forum search.
I searched "climate control" and this thread was on page 3.

Glad to hear it.
Those are the best instructions I've seen in a forum - very clear, with pictures and numbered tags! I hang around Cadillac, Hot Boat, and Jet Ski sites a lot and do a lot fo repair keeping my old stuff running and my new stuff running better.
I'll give the fix a try...
Thanks!

FYI, soldered mine 2 nights ago and it's fixed, however, on my 2001 the internals are different than the one pictured in the above link. You will still see the 8 rectangulat resistors, just in a different location. Mine were lined up in two rows next to each other. Hit these 8 if yours is different than the picture in the link.
