Yes, it's temperature control (climate), it's a hardly swap, here you can see the process, i have translated it as good i can to english:

Here is disassembled interior, testing that all is right:



Disassembled 6006 radio, "no cambiar" = don't change, don't change those leds, they are for anti-theft security :)



And the final result:



Now "crystal-elevators" (how do you name it in english??)

Take care with elecronic contacts


Normal swith disassembled:


Putting 5mm led, blue and higt-luminosity:


I had to do a bigger hole, the led doesn't fit in :(


I changed the original resistor in order to get more luminosity (2k1=Original, 1k= changed)


Driver button, take care too!


Disassembled driver button:


New leds mounted:


Light button disasembled:


Multi-colour :D


Final result:

hehe, in Madrid there are a lot of people :)
You have to come here and visit us with your wife! Is a big city, but not big as New York for example :)

Nice job with the SMD's. I tried working with those for my A/C and Defrost buttons and only half lit up when I put it back together. But I did do the rest of the LED change over in my car. Door Locks, Power Windows, and the Headlight Switch. I love the way it turned out. Check out my pic's in the link at the bottom of my post.

:hi:

Love the car by the way!!

Welcome to Focus Canada!! My Uncle & relatives are from Spain, Mallorca to be exact. It's a beautiful country, I'd like to visit there some time. Nice set of cars you have as well.

We were there a week after the bombings several years ago. We stayed at a relatives apartment on Calle de Toledo and also in Cuenca. We will go back when our kids are older and easier to travel with.
