On my 92, it was going a little goofy from time to time.....Buttons not working at all....Some buttons working some of the time.....Other times, everything was peachy.

 

No amount of "percussive maintenance" would get the a/c on to cool my temper when it acted up either.

 

I removed the panel (and the whole control box that is attached to it), and took it apart. There was a layer of translucent rubbery stuff covering the circuit board that I had to peel off to get at it. Once I did, it was an easy fix....Kinda like doing the wiper motor. Just a couple points of contact on the board that the solder spots had popped off of, and were only intermittantly making contact.

 

I just cleaned them up, and dropped a new drop of solder on them, put it back together, and popped it back in.

 

That was around 5 years ago, and it still works perfectly.

 

I'm no electrician, so you know it isn't a hard job.

 

Even if you don't have a soldering iron, it would be cheaper to do it yourself.

 

Soldering iron - $12.50

Solder - $3.50

Band-Aid for cuts on hand -$2.49

 

Not paying $120 + 2 hours labor at the stealership for 3 cents worth of solder, and 15 minutes worth of work..........Priceless.

 

 

Hope that helped a little.

I have even seen kits (-bandaids) for like 7$ with everything included at RadioShack.

 

At least when mine goes crazy I think I can figure it out. :cool:

Just be careful, and mind your temper, and there wont be a need for the band-aids. :cool:

 

It was the not careful part that did me in :D

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
