Default Climate control buttons

I am having a small problem with the MODE button on my climate control. The coating seems to be coming off of the surface of the button allowing the back light to shine through (at nite obviously). Is there a source for replacement control buttons for the climate control? Has anyone else had this problem?

no source, unless you can find one that doesn't work, then sell off the parts. I may have one, remind me if you don't hear from me in a few days.

Well, you are SOL then. Unless you buy a junked one and swap parts - pretty sure you won't find anyone selling the 'mode' button.

Good luck!

Bringing back a nearly seven year old thread for a part?

Post your need up in the C5 Parts for Sale/Wanted section and see if someone has an old HVAC unit they are not using. Or contact a forum used parts vendor to see if they have one.
