Aircon Button madness!!

Recommended Posts

I have an aircon button panel which moves about in its mounting above the heated seat controls on the left of the instrament cluster. It slides about 2mm side to side, but fits fine vertically. Does this mean that its the wrong panel for my car?

 

It also does not light up at all - should it? All the switches around it light up fine and have a nice illuminated ring around them when pressed.

 

Its one of the panels with 2 buttons, one saying norm and the other saying max.

Corrados never came from the factory with aircon, so any buttons will be aftermarket - which I suspect will be the reason for the loose fit and lack of illumination...

OK, off topic a little.

 

UPDATE! When playing with the switches last night I discovered that the button text does light up when the headlights are off and the buttons are pressed - weird!

 

Anyone know if this odd behaviour is normal?

Does no-one know whats going on with these buttons?

 

I was wondering if its just the LEDs that need changing somehow. Maybe reversing the current by soldering them on the other way round.

Is that with the headlights on and off? Does switching the headlights on and off make any difference at all?

 

This is getting weirder and weirder!

 

PS do your move side to side?

Sorry my mistake i've just checked and the switch illuminates when the sidelight's and headlight's are switched on and they become brighter when pressed in.

When i first got my Corrado the switch was'nt fitted very well and used to fall out until all the time,i've now managed to fit the switch inside an old heated rear screen switchand it's perfect.

I'm not sure if mine is illuminating as it should do maybe someone else can confirm this.

From what I can remember, mine used to light up with the headlights, then light up brighter when they were on.

 

Mine fitted fine, but there was a blob of silicon sealant jammed in there too, so that might be why ;)
