Hi Everyone!

I have two Climate Control panel LCD displays which have different failures, and was wondering if anybody ever fixed the displays themselves.

1st unit: LCD display works fine, but no backlighting at night. You can't see what is selected when the sun goes down.

2nd unit: LCD display has backlighting at night, but the LCD is blotchy and barely readable. After driving a while the display starts to recover and it looks normal. Once shutdown and sitting it starts all over again.

I pulled the two screws off the back and accessed the circuit board, but stopped there.

Anybody do any repairs on these?

Thanks!

 

Hi there - I have same issue: display works but no light to see it at night. Was told it was two bulbs on each side. That's the extent of my knowledge there!

 

There's 2 twistloc bulbs on the circuit board that require replacing, you can do this by upgrading to blue led's - the original incandescents have blue rubber bonnets that fit over the bulb - the issue here is a blue screen and aqua/green everything else. I did a conversion a few years ago to all led....

The original bulbs are available from the Dealers - I can't remember the part numbers sorry but a thorough search on here might pull them up.

To access them you need to remove the black plastic cover on the back of the unit, a few pozi screws. Then locate the bulbs undo replace with the bonnets removed and installed off the old bulbs.
Be gentle with the wiring, this unit connects to the CanBus.

 

Here's some PICs of me doing this. Thanks Sean for pointing me in the right direction.

 

Hello all,
Can anything be done about a blotchy lcd? My bulbs are fine but the upper half of the numbers in the display are faded, the lower half is lightly blackened. Its readable if i lower my head down to the level of the J-gate.
Thanks

 

Buy a spare and swap parts?
