Default Has anyone ever switched out the climate controls from a '92 into a '90...

Just wondering if the units can be upgraded...or downgraded from digital to manual dial controls. The '90 digi controll is kinda cheap. I like the '92.

Very, very difficult if not almost impossible to do.

Default its doable.....

You'll need a whole new AC box behind the dash with all the right motors for flap-if you want digital and if you want manula you'll still need to change all that anyways and maybe even some AC line.

I wanted to do it myself too - to switch to manual controls - but it is just too much trouble for a little reward.

Default I'd really like to hear some details if you ever see him again.

I'd like to know how he faked or otherwise got around the compressor speed signal.

If you have access to the right used parts you can make a wiring adaptor
