Default will 99 climate control work in a 93?

Can anyone verify that it will or won't?

Thanks.

If you keep the brain "back half" of the unit and swap the face "front half" it should work.

I did that with a 97 and i'm using it in my 92.

The climate control unit is in two main 'parts'; the front bit and the rear bit, and they can be seperated quite easily.

1. Looking at the rear of the A/C control unit you can see two small screws which need to be removed
2. The front and the back parts of the A/C control unit may now be separated by inserting a flat screwdriver under the lip between the two sections and gently easing them apart, first the top, holding that open, and then the bottom.
3. There are two connectors linking the back section to the front, one white and one brown (in my case), gently remove these from the front section
4. Looking inside the unit you will see a white plastic panel secured by number of screws.
5. Remove all visible screws
6. Prise the black plastic tabs that secure the assembly in the black case outwards on one side of the unit and then the other, while pulling the white interior assembly out.

Once you have done this for both the 92 and the 97 untit, you can combine the newer front bit with the 92 rear bit, and that should work in your car.
