Climate Control -off- Button Broken

[Munkyb0y]

My climate control OFF button is loose in it's spot. It doesnt spring up, and doesnt switch off.

I have the fan (on low) blowing all the time. Not a huge prob, but i would like to switch it off.

R33 S1 GTS-T

Has anyone pulled one of these units apart?

Any guidance before i attack it?

Here's a pic of the button:

my suggestion,,, try to take it apart and see if you can see a faulty part,

if not im sure i have seen them for about $50 on the forums in the for sale section.

Hey Tony,

This has happened to me before. A little fiddly to fix but a nice lil project nonetheless. Here's a link to a thread I've posted in about this:

Look for the r33 stereo installation guide, that will get you to the AC unit. Unscrew, unplug, then undo ... dunno.. 8 small screws from the AC unit, and the front should come off.

If the other guide is what i'm thinking of, the button has popped out of its hinge-type clips. If they're not broken, you can just reattach the buttons and you're away!

found the guide. should be all set to go as soon as there's time.
