Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together. I'll be doing this shortly. Guys like you are what makes YT so great.

Thanks. My 2000 is due for this and I was dreading taking the whole center console off. I KNEW there was a better way and you proved it!

You can use dielectric grease to lube the cam slots. Is basically a silicone grease

Thanks for the vedio really helpful, just would like to know if its normal that the climate switch is working whenever I start the engine, even if the indicator is on 0 the vent still working ?! Cuz mine does .

The fan? It will run if the AC switch is on

The dashboard tape did you buy a pre-cut set or cut it yourself?

[@KenG-z3]

I cut it myself. The vinyl carbon fiber goes on easy. I think that’s a 3m vinyl. Nice stuff

So what was wrong before? It wouldn’t switch over to the heater?

[@KenG-z3]

The hot cold adjustment knob would get hung up. I thought it was the plastic cams behind the knob causing problems. But it was the cable down by the heater/AC door that would get stuck. I tried adjusting that and lubed it up. That helped a little but it still gets stuck from time to time.
