Hey has anyone tried to use the JDM climate controll in our cars? Mine has the black screen of death and although I don't really want the JDM version (celcius right?) a USDM just went on ebay for $250!!! Which makes buying a clip look $250 cheaper!!!

 

No. Not even remotely close.

 

Why buy a new one when a certain pimp person on the forum can refresh them in any color. Just search you Jedi.

 

did search.... can you help your MD homeboy out? SIN..

 

So close... why not give it One Last Try


Look at the stickys at the top of this forum

 

I don't think it's an issue of bulbs.
Is the LCD display itself gone? Or the backlights to the LCD.

 

thanks... OLT is the PIMP... so can you hook a playa up....my wife gave me a couple dollars...

 

I just sent mine to OLT for some nice LED lighting....cant wait to get it back

 

Trust me guys, all I've been doing for the last few days is searching! My cluster has a burnt out black lcd screen which as far as I've searched is unrepairable...

What about desoldering the LCD screen from the JDM climate controll and using it as a replacement...?

 

i heard about this really cool place called lextech lighting and they fix all the kind of stuff and make it cooler for a good price.... u might wanna hit OLT up i think he knows the guys pretty well

 

A little birdie told me it was reshipped.

I don't see the point in going through a complete JDM swap when if it goes bad (and it will) you'll have to find ANOTHER jdm unit to replace it. It's just starting a whole new headache. Get one on ebay and accept the fact this is how it is, it is a common failure and a new one is needed to replace it. Even with things like needles there is not repair, it is a replacement. I don't see much point in all this trouble for a JDM swap, but I certainly won't discourage you from doing what you want to do.

Best of luck.

 

jdm one works, plugs right in. no problem.

 

Didn't you do a complete swap?

If not then it is certainly year dependent, because the diagrams I received were indicating a totally backwards plug.

 

i put it in my other stock 1994 sc400.

 

Thank you thank you thank you octane! I knew it was possible. Worst case scenario I'll change the lcd's! You just saved me $300!
