climate control panel

Post by nifty850 »

hello everyone, am new to site and need advice.
97' 850 base

u.s.
left knob/driver temp. adjust does not stop at low and high marks. encounters a slight bump but goes all the way around. it is not the knob itself. it is inside the white plastic housing. my question is can this be repaired or do i need to replace this module. thanks

Just go on eBay and find yourself a new control unit. Can't be to much money used on eBay.

Thank FPL, thought this is was the verdict would be, but wanted to ask before spending $70. :(

Be prepared for frustration. The MCC panel is a real bear to replace.

Patience Grasshopper and you will get there. I actually repaired mine but it wasn't pretty.
