Broken Climate Controls

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Lugi20

Like many with the 93 or 94's, my climate control units buttons are all jazzed up, and the unsightly white light pours into my cabin, making the imput panels on my car look ghetto, and i'm sick of it.

However, the $400 price tag for a new unit disgusts me thoroughly, so are there any other options available to me? i'd say i've got a $150 price range to work with, so if anyone knows how i can make my interior whole again, please let me know!

I know what you mean, I just replaced mine last month call Max @ Five Star Ford 1-800-866-1520 ext 236, he'll get you what you need, he's one of our sponsors here, you'll even get a discount !!!!!! Good luck w/ the project, its easy to replace, if I can do it, anyone can.

Our cars are long since discontinued. Pouring in money for a brand new part when you can find many quality used ones dosen't make good sense. Anytime I can find a totaled out Mark in the salvage yard, or come across a part on Ebay I need, I don't miss an opportunity to grab it.

I paid less than $150 for a new & improved EATC from Max and am quite happy with the results.

Believe it or not I've seen the same on eBay go for more.
