DIY: How to: Replace a non working 1999 Honda Accord climate control panel

The climate control panel on my 1999 Honda Accord (4cylinder) went out. I put 4 cylinder because the 6 cylinder has a display.
When the climate control panel went out it was set on defrost at medium so it was blowing hot air even if you had the air off. All the buttons and led lights were out.There's nothing you can do to it. You can't turn it off. Hard to drive it in the summer because it's blowing out hot air.Even if you open up all the windows it's still too hot. In the winter the hot air would fogged up the inside because the defroster doesn't work. if you open the widows the cool air would make it worst. while it's raining, you have to open the window and wipe the inside with paper towels and the interior would get really wet.
This was the only solution. You can purchase the climate control panel from Ebay or other sites but if you can...it would be much cheaper just to go to your local car dismantler. It takes less than 10 minutes to take everything apart and put it back together.

Thank you so much for posting this! Replaced my boyfriends A/C system today and we saved about $120 that would have gone to the mechanic

[@GelissaGray]

I been suffering in the cold for the last 2 months 😂 I’m so grateful for this video

[@Bervick]

Dude. THANK YOU !!! Honda wants to charge me $600 for this. I will do it myself now with your excellent instructions.

[@94cd5]

Very helpful video. I have the same problem with my car, and will be changing it soon. Thanks for taking the time to film and post the video.

[@1575murray]

There are a lot of these cars still around. Unfortunately a lot have been wrecked or otherwise worn out because they are 20+ years old and many have run more than 200k miles before the engine and/or transmission failed. This means there are a lot of used parts available on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and in recycling yards. There is also a good supply of aftermarket parts for this generation Accord. I have a car like this one and have found it well designed and fairly easy to work on (I have the 4 cylinder engine not the V6). I have been able to do a number of repairs myself including replacing a failed door lock actuator and fixing the drain hoses for the moon roof that were not working correctly. I also replaced the inner tail lights that were leaking water into the trunk. By this time my car has parts from several other similar cars on it but it still runs well after 126,000 miles.

Dunno if anyone cares but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last days xD

Thanks for this bro. I have a 2000 honda accord lx, and it was the same issue. Unfortunately it cost me $100 from my local junkyard. It was that or either a rebuilt one for $250.... it seems to work well, hopefully it stays like that.

[@AbandonedExplorationUrbex1979]

Thanks for this video. Mine also isn't working so I'll be doing the same thing and it's seems easier then I thought to fix the problem so hopefully I'll also have good luck.

[@Anguilla2001]

thanks, mine is doing the same thing, I'm going to look for a new panel, I'm just worried it's some electrical problem deep in the engine bay, we'll see but this seems to work, I'll try it thank you.

[@parkerrogers2277]

Thank you this video! As an additional solution for someone with this issue, replacing the Heater Control Assembly (Part No.: 79600-S84-A01ZA). My dealership wanted about $300 for this part. Ebay was around $90. My local Pull-a-part charged me $17.61 and the part barely used! LPT: Sign up to receive emails when your local Pull a part receives a specific vehicle you're interested in.

[@humanyoda]

And how can it be replaced?

[@parkerrogers2277]

humanyoda humanyoda At 3:10 in the video above he removed a red and green connector from the climate control assembly. There are around 4-6 screws that hold it to the plastic frame he is replacing in this video.

[@ddk80]

Great vid! BTW I was able to remove the clock using my fingers, but then again, I'm a meat head. Also, save the bulbs from your old climate control unit and clock.

[@kit_ani]

what about the led light behind the temperature while driving at night also on my car I can't my radio station... do I have to replace that whole piece for it to work ?? or is it separate

[@eksine]

I think I figured out how to fix this: I have a 2001 Honda Accord LX V6 3.0 and the AC control lights all went out, could not switch the vent modes, could not activate the AC, but the fan control knob worked fine and controlled the fan fine. the lights came on intermittently and I was able to use AC for a few minutes and it would go out during a drive. it seemed like a battery was dying so I ripped out the center dashboard and remove the circuit board for the AC controls. there are 5 capacitors on mine , I replaced them all and it seems to work fine now. one capacitor I replaced matched the capacitance and voltage but was half the size, I'm guessing it is a low ESR capacitor. I replaced it with the next voltage up which was closer to the size of the old cap, all the others I had no problem. the original caps are japanese nichicon, which is one of the top brands. I tried to do the jumper mod which didn't work at all. so if you lose lights and controls for the AC buttons try replacing all the caps, preferably with nichicon

[@gwencouncil9673]

Awesome

[@diegosilang4823]

I had the same issues, some of vent buttons stops working intermittently, then later everything doesn't work. I took the climate control panel apart and removed the circuit board. I hooked it the the harness and predictably it not working until I bend the board slightly. I started pressing soldiered components and found one of the resistors (R5) is not properly soldiered and losing contact. Used my soldering iron and fixed the loose resistor. Just a warning, the white colored plastic case, holding the circuit board and buttons, is made from poor quality plastic and breaks easily.

[@lizzykate]

If I do everything in this video and it still doesn't work.....any ideas? My husband thinks maybe a fuse or plug somewhere but isn't sure where to look. Would disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it do anything? THANKS!

[@HeuFamilyEnt]

IF? Have you tried it or not? Should work 90% of the time unless any wires/electrical gone bad plus fuse and etc.

[@adeum9i]

hello my modes don't work but ac comes out only from left and right not center and its cold not hott like yours. what would I have to replace ?

[@Ancient_Oracle]

That's exactly what's going on with mine

[@AbandonedExplorationUrbex1979]

I forgot to ask what tools did u use to remove it? Just a flat head and a Phillips screw driver?

Pretty much

[@MarlonTheBear94]

I have 2001 Honda Accord DX my control panel doesn't have the a/c button can I still buy a control panel with an a/c button and later install the whole a/c system ??I don't know much about cars

[@crayzygamer1232]

I have a similar issue. Do you mean that when all climate control module lights are on, the climate control module is good?

[@adeum9i]

I have a 1999 honda accord I changed cabin filter and also changed climate control and still no air from center vents only all others work fine what else could I check? the air comes out cold or hott just doesn't come out from center vents

[@De.V.]

I have a '99 accord, and the control panel is going out. The place I took it to wants $400 for the part. The total quoted was a bit over $700. Is it really just a matter of a new control panel and a few connections? Looks like even I can do it. Wondering what to do

+Blakehx when you press the ac but no air comes out...its probably the ac resistor..located under the glove compartment.

[@nancysample2869]

I got mine from a junk yard but didn't work. So have to go back to get another one today. Before I do I was wondering if it can possibly be the fuse because the lights don't come on and the dash board lights isn't working either. So wondering if I'm needing a fuse instead since initially no lights were working to begin with. I'm in Florida and it's too hot to be without air. Blowing hot. Can someone please help me?

[@HeuFamilyEnt]

Of course you have to check the fuse first
