[RocksnTwigs]

Hi Im new to this forum and need help.My 90 Q climate control lights went out bout a year ago.Despite the fact they come back on once in a blue moonI decided to replace the unit rather than go with therefurbishing dude you guys tout for readout repair

I snagged a climate control on eBay for $10.49which has 7 day Money Back warranty.Is there a way to bench test these so Im not rippin intomy dash the moment it arrives.Also any links to photos of Climate/Radio removal would be most appreciated

ThanksRocks n Twigsps anyone get the Q related significance of my screename?

Rocks and twigs... Genious!!! Supposed marketing genious, but unfortunately america just wasnt ready.

At any rate, to remove it you basically just take the dash panel off aorund it and pull it out.. its easy and theres instructions in the INFINITI ARTICLES section and on Q45.org.

Is there any stupid sinple DON'Ts I should be aware of so i'm not like Homer Simpson goin "Dogh!"?

The good news is that even if your new one fails you can still send it off for the rebuild. The last time I checked Jerry is out of spares, so you'll still have A/C during the rehab process. At $11 I wouldn't send your eBay unit back even if it's bad. I have been down this road and for the most part there are two types of units. Ones that are dead or will die soon, and ones that have been rebuilt. The only exception is the one that was in my "Q1" that lasted over 200K without ever being replaced or rebuilt. Finding one of those isn't worth the trouble... you could try 10 junk yard take-outs before you get a good one.

Nothing particularly difficult about the process. Check out http://www.carstereohelp.com/s...o.htm

Good luck!
