Can someone tell me how to remove the manual climate controler part from the dash?
My AC switch is acting funny and I want to replace it but was not able to take the assembly out to perform repairs. I could take the Automatic Climate control easily out from my other car by pressing the small botton on the bottom rear of the pannel by accesing thru the radio cavity but couldnt find anything like that on this one. I trid to push it hard out but doesnt look like comming out.

 

MCC:
-Remove ***** from climate control panel. Pull ***** right out. Cover ***** with tape and use polygrip.

-Remove 2 screws behind ***** to control panel front.
-Remove front.


-Remove fan switch and recirculation/A/C connector.
-Remove control panel from dashboard (4 screws), lift off.
-Remove radio if fitted.


post or pm me if you need pictures also

 

Sounds like a great easy to follow directions but its already dark and i dont want to open it now but try it tomorrow. Pictures will definatley be good help if you have them handy.

 

to remove ***** (c only, not a or b):

 

Thanks Tony. I will be working on it as soon as I reach home.
Will get back to you with any show stoppers.

 

no problem. let me know if you ever need anything else.

 

The job is done !

Thanks again for all your help.

 

Hello I also have a manual climate control unit. The passenger side does not light up.any tips and/procedure to avoid damage. I just want replace the bulb pics would help if there's any. Thanks

 

just follow the instructions up top and you should be good to go.

 

The dismantling was pretty easy except I got stuck trying to pull out the bulb. Is it built with the socket or do I just keep pulling? Where can I get a replacement bulb? Does kragen have it? Do u know what kind?

 

Bump

 

You need get to the back of the bulb make a 1/4 turn (counter-clock wise)then pull it from the back.

^^^ ya what he said

 

Along this thread. The automatic climate control unit has burned out. Is it possible to replace the unit with a manual climate control panel? If so, is it simply a plug in situation or would I be looking at rewiring the harness?

 

Yup back from the dead three years later. Was researching something else and ran across the question.

Swap MCC control head for ACC head ... my understanding is you'd also have to replace the plenum or air box as ECC uses motors on the flapper doors and the MCC uses cables. It also uses a different blower motor resistor, all in all not really anything that would be a reasonable swap.

 

Hey I just wanted to let you know that this post is still helping people out in 2022. This saved me a lot of time! Thank you

 

Yep. That is pretty non-obvious and helpful.

I got rid of my manual 850, but I gotta say, taking those cables out entirely, if you need to, is just almost torture. Replacing the lightbulbs in the unit is also pretty bad (I think).

 

So Howdy everyone … I have a 94 950 turbo W/ECC, heres the short/short version of problem first off i pulled codes and I know I have a few issues W/ actuators etc , codes I got were 231,233,511 …not too bad since when I got the car it had no dash …It seemed to be blowing hot air and would function enuff to get by , but now what happens is … Start car blower runs full speed or wherever I place speed switch …after about 5? min blower quits m no screetching no noise ,just quits… If I shut car off fire it up and it does same thing , everytime I restart motor blows great then quits …Anybody got any tips 1 thanxz in advance !

update...Recently I tried this with the key in position II... the blower seemed to NOT kick off, W/ engine not running , Ign. on ...
