Default A/C Head control unit difference between 1997 and 1998 MY ?

Is the A/C Head Control unit from a 1998 C5 the same as it is on a 1997 ? Or did they change something ?
I am looking for a used unit, and found a 1998, but not shure if this will fit !

Thanks for your help.

Jochen

If you are talking about the dual climate control unit. Then yes it will fit.

Be warned that if you are replacing because the LCD has become dim, then the 97 may do it as well.

I replaced mine when it became dim with a similiar unit and it only lasted about 6 months and the replacement went dim. I would get a much newer model (2000+) for that problem.

Hi,
thanks for your answer. Yes, i am talking about the dual a/c control unit. I have a 97 Corvette, and found an offer on ebay for a 98 unit.
So all units for the dual zone a/c from 1997 to 2004 are the same ?
So it might be the best to get a new one from GmPartsdirect.com ?!?

Thanks for your help.

Jochen
