Heater Switch

I think I am going to use Torx screws as opposed to phillips for the dash bezel...Just a little updated detail.

That is a good idea as they hold themselves onto the drive bit better when trying to navigate them into those small areas with big, clumbsy hands.

**** I forgot to measure that for you Retro. Im on it right now.

Okay my ac/heater control is 2 1/4 inches tall by 6 3/8's inches wide.

SWEET. A 1995-97 Olds Cutlass Supreme climate control is the same size. Thanks man!!!!

No problem dude. I think I know what your planning on doing.

Getting it mostly functional is feasible...

Getting the dual zone functional will be a challenge and a half.

Nahhhhh, its all where you place the sensors in the headliner. The headliner should cover all the wiring.

 

[HotRodPC]

Dohh, wait, yes, you are right. The dual zone and blend doors etc, yes that will be hell. LMAO, I am thinking of the sensors, that is the easy part. The blending will be hell.

 

[Irishman999]

What exactly are you planning?

 

[HotRodPC]

Lemme Guess !!! I bet he intends to put dual zone climate control in a SB truck??? Where driver side has his own settings, and passenger has their own settings. I had it in most of my 01 and later trucks, like both of my Avalanches.

 

[RetroC10Sport]

Yep, Electronic Climate Control.

I was planning to use a 1989-94 Olds Cutlass ECC unit, but it's too wide. The 1995-97 unit is almost dead on. But the only way to get ECC was with dual zone and rear defroster. The defogger is not a problem, I've actually added an electric rear defog to a car that never had it.

 

[HotRodPC]

Surely there has to be a GM model with ECC that will fit the SB. Ther is a little wiggle room with the dash bezel. Better to small than to big actually, then I'd think you could use a DIN stereo trim piece to make it look nice.

 

[Irishman999]

Out of all the other things to modify on an old truck its so hard to believe you landed on that. That is the one single thing I hated most about the 07 sierra I drove. But thinking outside the box is cool! way to be different!

I cam going to check others, the biggest thing is that many were used with a BCM, including many Cadillacs from 1989 on. I might see what size a Bonneville ECC is...But they shine red when lit at night.
