HVAC Display Dim
I have a 99 vert and sometimes my HVAC display (LED) is very dim. I can tap on it sometimes and it becomes a little brighter and other times I can see any info.
Has anyone experienced this ? The service guy at the parts counter told me that this unit can be replaced. The cost of the part is approx. $330.00 plus labor. Any info would be appreciated....
Thanks

replace the bad one. Suggest you give Gene at Karshop a call as he has them from time to time (he's a supporting vendor). His prices and service are very good as well. If you have an option, get a later model unit as GM made improvements to the later designs. They all plug and play...no more than a 20 minute install.Joe

I posted the same question a few months ago. A dual control unit costs $125-$175 from Gene's if I remember correctly. This is unfortunately a common problem.

Gene quoted me $150 for a hvac control unit. I eventually bought a unit from a 2001 c5 from brad's corvette for $135. check around and bargain for the best deal. installation is easy and takes less than 30 mins.
