Who repairs these LCD screens when they start to bleed? Are all climate controls universal or specific by year if I wanted to quickly replace one?

I believe LexTech is either out of business or non-responsive these days. I've tried to contact them a few times without a response.

I did mines self, you just have to be decent at soldering and have the equipment for it

But the screen off of Ebay, then send it off to Lextech. They will do it for $40.00. Thats what I did. The LCD was only like $40 also off of Ebay.

I bought a new screen for mine last year and have still never replaced it lol

So I guess the soldering points aren't small enough to use acid SMD soldering flux grease? I would think so.... I work on iPods and iPhones and most of the solder points on them need flux. I would assume the LCD contacts aren't much bigger...
Good to know I can DIY.

I too replaced my own climate LCD screen back on my old 92 SC and it took a little patience but wasn't too difficult. Definitely have a solder sucker on hand to clean all the old solder off before soldering on the new screen. I also changed out the bulbs while I was in there. Though the aftermarket bulbs are not nearly as bright as the oem bulbs, so you may want to find good LED replacements or brighter oem spec grain of wheat bulbs. If you do use LED replacement bulbs, I read that lightly sanding the tip of the bulbs helps reduce hotspotting and distributes lighting better.

Here's how big they are,
And no I didnt use flux. Maybe I should have.... Idk much about soldering though, just enough to get me by with Rc electronics and connectors

I use Lextech. Guaranteed for life. You can get many different colors.

I also have had email trouble with them. Try this email:

Do it yourself if you are competent with a soldering iron. It is actually a lot of fun to do stuff like this IMO.

That's the email address I have as well. I've used Lextech in the past for my cluster. I think I can handle the soldering of the LCD screen. I have an extra climate control unit I can practice on if needed.

Just curious though, are all climate control units universal?

yea from 92-00 its the same a/c unit.

I did my own and it still works today. I have no soldering skills and a shaky hand.

SC4ME

we both did it ourselves, u need to be patient but it saves you $30 bucks and shipping,

check out galaxy auto parts, they do it for $75 incl shipping. tanin auto parts does it for $69.99 + 9.99 shipping.
