Sooo. I burned up my climate control panel up and happened to have 2 more. 1 is very different from the other 2. It has 1 has a single board and the AC and def switches just seat in connector. It seems to work ok but the buttons are worn out.

1 are they both compatible?
2 Are those the buttons ive seen available for this panel?
3 My foot valve isnt opening could it be the panel?
Yes I need a few min to actually test it. lol I just got the car running and took its maiden voyage today the AC got down to 40!!!

The climate control head with the plug in switches is a later version of the ones with the switches soldered in. The switches are separately available. Both are compatible.

If the switches work, but the graphics on the buttons are worn, Joaquin Sampler sells a set of switch graphics on ebay...

The AC switch is on ebay, too.

+1 on everything George said. I've also seen several variants of the circuit boards with the soldered switches. They all seem to have the same functions and pin-outs, however.

For the footwell flaps, I'd give the servo motor a quick test with our diagnostic charts linked below. If neither climate control unit moved the footwell flaps (?) then that would point more to the servo motor or linkage, but a quick test or two should tell you for sure.

Thanks for the input. I did rebuild the foot servo awhile back its probably stuck again. Anyone have LED bulbs for the climate panel? Id like to replace them all while Im taking care of all this..
