Climate control module
I am about to replace the climate control module on my 2008.
I did find a pretty good tutorial from Utah Corvettes thank should guide me well.
The question I have - and the answer is probably obvious - do I disconnect the battery?
I understand if I do to open windows first.
Once reconnected are there any problems other than reindexing the windows?
Thanks
Bruce

Yes on disconnecting the battery first.
The rest you have covered.
As for replacing, what is the problem and have you thought about just pulling the board to check for a cold solder joint that may be the problem alone, before you buy a new unit?
Myself, new unit is reserved for when the button diagrams wear off, since the new stick on diagram stickers are less than ideal isntead.

If a repair facility shows up I will get it done and save it for the future.
I am not sure if the tunnel heat contributes to the problem but it does get pretty warm.
While everything is apart I wonder if it would be any good to insulate the top of the tunnel .

Heat was not the problem, it was as cold solder joint and just the vibration of the car.
If you list your location, should be one of us close to you that is handy with a soldering iron to just pull the board and fix the cold solder joint problem isntead.
