soccmid, to replace the ac controls , the module with the buttons . it has two connectors (one to the fan switch and the other for the buttons). to repair the small connector (to buttons): remove center console cover, remove radio, remove the screw under the module (stubby phillips) and the front screws, disconnect the heater cable (it just slips out of a clip), unplug the two connectors and replace. to repair this module find the connector with the small pins, cut the plastic from the other side to access the soldered side of the pins, support the pins (they will move when the solder melts), resolder them with a fine tip soldering iron. it's very hard to see the bad connections at the solder joint.
