Audi Climate Control LCD Rebuild Kit
Please read and become familiar with these instructions before performing the actual repair. The LCD panel is fragile and can be damaged if incorrectly installed. Installation is very simple and straightforward. Many color photos are included to ensure a trouble free installation. Place several paper towels on your work surface so as not to scratch the buttons on your climate control panel.
1) Remove controller from the center console
Gently pry wood trim fascia panel (A) from center console using a flat edge tool. A flathead screwdriver with an overlay of electrical tape will prevent any marring of surfaces. Remove the two Phillips head screws on left and right sides (B). Climate control center will slide out. Remove all four electrical connectors by simply pushing the tab in with your thumb and pulling the connector away from its socket. All four connectors are mechanically different to prevent mismatch upon assembly.
2) Taking your controller apart
Remove the three Phillips head screws from holding the front control panel to the controller housing. In this photo two screws can be seen at the top. The 3rd is on the bottom side. If you do not have the four turquoise lamp holders as seen in this photo, your controller is LED backlit. Rebuild is the same, but you will not need the lamps provided in this kit. If your controller is an early version with a white enclosure, please go to the appendix for updated information. Gently pull the front panel away from the housing to expose the LCD controller board and its ribbon connector.
