Stupid Auto Button

[Spook's_Skyline]

bah, petal has busted the climate control auto button by mashing it

its the second time we've done this to our car (first time, was teh day after we got it from street machines, so we just took it back and they fixed it)

i doubt they would do it for us nearly 4 years after we got it!@

whats the gizzo? can i just find another auto button from the wreckers and switch it myself?

or is there more to it than that?

its bugging me immensly that its not working already

i cant stand thinking about it

might be easier to replace the whole climate control panel? they arent that expensive, i was just ebaying before there were 2 on there

this guy is selling his whole interior at a cheap price

pretty sure this includes the climate control module.

Yeah mate I had that problem too! I just bought a whole new climate control box for about $60, I can even come and help you fit it when you get one

[Spook's_Skyline]

mmm, was hoping more just for a button purchase

jimmy out the old busted button, and whack the new one in

dunno about replacing everything

the aircon still works fine

You can try that the buttons are heaps weak they are hinged from the top with a thin piece of plastic you could probably even try to glue the hinge back together with a glue that doesnt set rock hard...I thought about it but it was easier to pay the $60 and bin the old one!

Either way I am happy to lend a hand

Oh and you dont have to replace everything it comes out as one box with a single plug on the back!

I saw a write-up a little while back showing how to fix it...seemed to work very well.

Who uses the auto button? The auto butting just equals full fan to the head... constantly... no matter how cold it is. I hate that button

yeah whats with the auto button? what does it do or supposed to do other than full throttle

[Konrad]

it works on mine, its supposed to chill things to the temp you set it at. Starts off at full, then steps down to 3/4 then half power for the fan... if your ones dont do this i'm guessing you need the temp sensor for the climate control replaced

[Spook's_Skyline]

yer, it works perfectly for me

when cabin is at temp, it just keeps it at whatever temp you have set it to

dan, write up on sau? ill have a look

ok so instead of the aircon on all the time and making things arctic, it'll stabilise at 18 degrees?

thats actually kinda neat, mind you spring is nearly over and arctic is the only acceptable setting, but thanks =)
