Default ac control problem

Has anyone had problem with the ac/heat passenger control on a 2000 c5? Do I need to buy a new one, and if so, how hard is it to pull and replace it?

There are many issues documented on this forum. What is your specific issue? Any codes?

nothing happens when I use the passenger control ****. no codes show up anywhere either. drivers side temp control works fine and shows on the screen. passenger does not show on the screen at all when you turn the ****.

Check your owners manual. It is not supposed to show on the screen.

The Drivers side control **** is what actually sets the temp, all the Pass side control does is increase or decrease the temp by about 5-10 degrees (not sure exactly how much) but it doesnt change the number in the display only the actual pass side air temp. IMO kind of a useless feature since its not a true dual zone climate control like other cars. Anyway, it sounds as if if working as it should, hope this helps.

You can look at the passenger **** as a slight override to the main temperature setpoint, as set on the driver's side. It does not display anything.

Thanks everyone. At least now I know. I forget this car is almost 13 yrs old sometimes. The dual ac in my other cars always control the passenger side.

I guess I really am that old guy that has the 12 oclock blinking on my electonics at home...lol
