Digital Climate Control
I tried to search for the answer but couldn't find what I was looking for. Well my digital display for the climate control isn't working at all. I'm not exactly sure if it is just burnt out or a fuse. Also I can't keep the tire sensor light off. The sensors have been removed.

If dim it can be repaireed.
Many here have done it themsleves with a soldering iron

Re the tire sensors... You are out of luck.
the early (pre-'01) system cannot be turned off.
If you do not want the light you have to install new sensors.
check itout tonight.

Ah thanks a ton for his info! I can't see any display whatsoever on the HVAC. I guess I will need him to fix it but I don't wanna be without heat for days!

any idea how much a "new" unit might cost? Any deals through the forum? I repaired mine once as desribed in this thread, now failing agian after six months. Not sure if worth reopening and trying again or just replace with a new unit.

maybe you should try to solder it one more time, it's a lot cheaper than buying a new one!

Yup, you're probably right, maybe give it another try. BUT...if a "new" replacement was around $150ish I ight opt to go for the replcement. Only reason I wouldn't buy a Good/Used unit is it might be just as prone to failure as my current unit. Guess there's no guarantee's a New/New might not fail in time as well. Hate to sound negative but not a good statement about GM/Delphi electonics...
Thanks for the advice and comments...
Buy the way...Happy and Healthy New Year!

Need to re-solder the eight(I believe there are eight) tiny resistors. They may be fimly attached but some may have what is known as a cold-solder-joint. Do not conduct eletricity properly. As the instructions express, just quickly touch the soldering iron to each joint.
For what its worth, I ended up replacing my control unit today with a new unit. As explained in earlier post, my unit began to flash(al the lights and the display) and wouldn't stop. Tried everything...gave up and purcahsed a new unit today. Put it in tonight and all's well.
Good luck with your efforts...
