thx

The other one is automatic climate control. You set the temp you want, and the system maintains it.

Before you ask, no, you cant switch them out.

 

Actually, wasnt it stated in the FAQ's that you CAN switch them, but it is a lot of work (ie. sensors, wiring...or something)?

 

well i guess i need to find the correct one.. wht exaclty do u call the one that maintaines the temp..

 

ah, so you finally decided the climate control was toasted? try finding a direct replacement (and while its out, consider changing all the LEDs to be a cool color )

 

It may look different to you because that face plate is from a 95-97 Maxima with automatic climate control, in 98 Nissan revised the face plate. In 99 they added to the ambient button to the revised one. So if you have auto climate control it might work, but i would go for an 98 or 99 one to be on the safe side if you alredy have auto climate control.

 

so the 99 has the AMB button stock? and im def gonna change the leds to blue, but as of right now my baby is dead again. the battery died again and the weather here is rainy so i cant charge her up..

 

Yes the 99's with auto climate have the ambient button!

 

so you never sorted out the battery or the climate control problems?

 

no not exaclty. the car sat for a day and then i went to try sum stuff today and it was dead.. so im gonna charge the battery, disconnect the climate controls and bring it to the shop to get an exhaust leak fixed then try to find a climate control at a junk yard by me by friday for a mini meet i got planned friday night... think ill pull it off..any bets...

 

so for the record.....
there was just a design change from 97 to 98?
Which means I could use an auto climate control from a 98 to replace my auto climate control in my 97?
thanks

 

If you end up finding a 98 unit used you can always add the AMB button for about $5. Since you will have the control unit out already, a 1/3 of the battle is already won.

 

True. . . I did it. . .check my website for picture. . . the button cost me around $7 at the dealership and took me 15 minutes to do.

 

Did yours actually work? If so, then how did you get it to work? I have a 1998 GLE and it seems as if the spot where your AMB button is, is non-functional.
