I dont think you will find it anywhere cheaper seeing as how it is a Stock part...usually the same price everywhere.

But good luck!

but not everybody sells for MSRP... Grubbs in particular sells parts (and entire cars for that matter) below MSRP... it's just a matter of finding a place that sells at a discount AND carries this part... Grubbs sells the '04 A/C controller for $199... maybe the MSRP went up that much for '05 but I don't see what it would have...

 

i contacted grubbs and this is what i got

THE DOUBLE DIN FINISHER AND AC CONTROLLER ARE ON BACK ORDER FROM JAPAN RIGHT NOW WITH NO RELEASE DATE AS OF YET. I AM SORRY FOR THIS SIR PLEASE CHECK BACK WITH US. THANK YOU

GRider, Any updates?

 

no sir/ (mam?), aside from finals, its persian new year now... well this sunday it is!

i will try and do the tear-up bit by bit, in my spare time when i can get a chance...

thanks for reminding me! ; )

 

update: not only do you have to solder on the DUAL button, but you also gotta solder on the light for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PITA!!!

 

after SEVERAL failed attempts of soldering the light on, i have come to the conclusion that it just can't be done..............

either that, or my soldering skillz suck a$$!!!!!!!!!!!

 

does the button work still though?

-SF

 

yeah the button works...

but the DANM light wont turn on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive soldered 5 different LED's that i took off the old board, im not sure if i shorted the lights as i soldered them off, or not...

i might buy a brand new LED and solder that on, but i think i ruined the JDM A/C controller by soldering so many lights on and off...

what u guys think, is it worth buying a whole new A/C controller if i ruined my JDM one???

 

hmmmmmmm...... damn dude.. why couldnt it just be easy..lol try a new led.. or maybe take it to an electrical expert shop who specializes in fixing computer parts and stuff.. this should be a cake walk for them and then post the results..

 

so the only thing is the light...you did get it to work without the light which is good...I can live without it.

-SF

 

i know the LED has a negative and positive part...

first, i soldered it on the wrong way (theres a little green dot to indicate lower right corner) then i flipped it and it still didnt work...

i think im gonna try it again...

 

finally figured it out!!!!!!!!

see the before and after pics...

you cant see the after pic very well, but i noticed that the circuit wasnt complete so i looked at another LED and ONE of them has a "242" (or "292") next to it, so i soldered one next to it and it didnt work... flipped the "242" and it still didnt work... put in another LED and it works!!!!!!!!!!

moral of the story: my soldering skills are fine...........

conclusion:
1. make sure the LED has the little green dot on the lower right corner, like all the rest
2. solder on a "242" from the stock board onto the left side to complete the circuit, i guess its a resistor??... (i hope i didnt put the wrong number on and burn my car down one of these days!!!...) also note: im not sure if the orientation of the ?resistor? is important, but i have mine facing to the right, meaning u have to rotate the A/C controller 90degrees counterclockwise to read the numbers (see last pic)

 

hey bishoor,
you need a manicure! your hand looks wrinkly. yuck!
