Digital climate control swap

I have a 98 max but with the analog turn style air control. I was wondering if I could switch it to the digital style without having to do and wire mods??

Short answer - NO.


You can't ask the same damn question and get a different answer.

this has actually been talked about like 3 days ago, do a little bit of searching. Actually, hell, no searching required, just BROWSE the 4th gen forums and I bet you'll find it...

One more time - the short answer is no.

The long answer is "anything is possible if you have enough time and money".

You will need (and this list is not complete) the automatic climate control panel, a fan control amplifier, a sunload sensor, an ambient air temperature sensor, an in-cabin air temperature sensor, the right side defroster grill, the under dash wire harness and the under hood wire harness. Not mentioned are all the mounting brackets, vacuum hoses, screws and the know-how needed.

Have fun...

Where did you ask if there was anything you had to change? Your original post asked if it could be done without any wire mods to which everyone answered, in short, "NO". Nowhere did I or anyone say you don't need to change anything. You then asked again a few posts down if it will "just plug in and go" which is essentially the same question as your original post...and again, the answer was "no".

So, to clarify, this is not a simple thing to do...it can be done but a lot of parts and wiring mods are needed to do it. If you want to tackle it, do a search as I know it has been covered. Like dennismik said though, you need all the parts he listed in post #6

Edit: dennismik, are you confused by his post like I am?

I am several things. Confused is one of them, amazed, befuddled are some more.

I think that at this point I am out of here before this turns into a pi$$ing match that I don't want to be part of.

It can be done but I prefer my manual honestly. One less thing to break and have the lights go out on
