guys, today i got some LED's, and tried to change the a/c and recirc LED's...

so i took off the dash, removed the unit which has 3 knobs and the two buttons, and i tried to take the a/c and recirc "plastic boxes" out...

while doing so, i didn't realize i had to twist and remove the bulb on the bottom, and bam! i broke one of the lightbulbs in there....

can anyone help me with this pLLLEEEEase??

also i think i messed up the button as well...

originally, it's supposed to stay in when pushed once, and pop out when pushed the second time, right?

the recirc button doesn't do that anymore...... 02.gif

help!!!!!! thanx in advance!

 

I hope you didn't break anything on the circuit board!

If you did, ... you MIGHT be able to salvage it with some soldering,... but I'd have to see it.
If you just broke the bulb that lights up the "AC" or recirc / fresh air logos, you can just get another one from the dearler it's cheap. Or you can go to the junkyard.

But if you screwed up the circuit board,... you'll either have to get a new one for like $60 I think, which is the ENTIRE switch, or go to the junkyard.
This may explain why it doesn't click back.
But again I'd have to see it.

 

hmm...i don't think i broke anything on the circuit board, but the switch seems to be broken (i.e. it wouldn't click anymore)...

do u know any junkyard close to Toronto?

 

make sure you didsnt lose the spring that is in the switch. it has its own little compartment on one side of the switch casing .

 

i still have the spring, but it seems like the "click" mechanism is totally broken.

got any suggestions where to get a replacement?

i think the dealer would charge me an arm and a leg...... :roll:

 

ask around on the forums. you might find someone with an extra one.

 

alrighty, i'll ask around the forums.....
