So this happened today :-/

I noticed on the way to work this morning that the passenger side back lighting for the climate control was out.



I was thinking it would be a good time to upgrade to the digital climate control. I shouldn't experience any problems switching to the one below, should I? I was assuming it would be as simple as removing the old one and plugging in the new one...

Mine is doing the same thing. If I give it a few taps it will light back up.
as far as switching, you cannot just add the digital one. Way more involved than just swapping the units.

Thanks for the tip...

As far as switching, what all is involved?

Mine used to go in and out in my old crew cab

Depending on how difficult/expensive, I'd like to upgrade to the digital one... has anyone done this, or know what all is involved?

I haven't seen it done here, but I have on the trailblazer. Well... I should say they tried and gave up. The harnesses are completely different, the sensors are all missing, the vents (the ones hidden deep in the dash) are different. The final conclusion was it would be easier to trade the thing in and get one with the digital option. It just wasn't worth the time/money/effort.

Don't go digital. It is a system that uses a lot of sensors throughout the cabin in order to make sure it achieves the temps the user wants. You are taking about a very difficult and expensive conversion. Imo, it's not worth it.

Wow - I had no idea it was that complicated... You guys are right... not worth it... I guess I'll just start tapping away at it to get the light to come back on LOL

Thanks guys!

tap to fix means busted solder joint, open it and fix broke joint
