Tickled to death with my 2001 dream machine, but I've noticed that the climate control panel gets hot to to the touch...on or off. Anyone had a similar experience? Everything works fine, it just gets hot..hotter than it should. Everything surrounding the panel is cool. Just the whole heater panel itself.
Cold solder joints? Component on it's last legs? Should I be worried about a fire hazard? I'd appreciate any ideas before I start throwing money at it.
