Default Anyone else hate there eg's climate contols?

OK, who else out there has a climate control in there eg with the stupid light that only lights up half the control... and then, when you punch it, it works, but then, when you slide the thing.. it doesn't work again??

That is the most annoying friggin thing in the world... worst part, the new climate control I got after it was broken into, when I punch it it does nothing.... now it's just permanent half lit.....

Just popped into my head so I thought I'd post it.

I figure for a $500 car I wont complain too much about lights that only come on sometimes...my complaint with the Civics is that the stupid lower control arm bolt snaps when you try and change the rear shocks...ahhh!

LOL, I knew I wasn't alone.

Next on the agenda is why the @#$% the windows in these cars fog up so easily in rain and snow....

You all know what I'm talking about. hehe

Ha Ha funny I came across this topic, I just like 5 minutes ago got done fixing mine. One of your bulbs is starting to go out, and let me tell you the climate control is a pain in the *** to get out and getting to that bulb is a bigger pain in the ***, but yeah to fix it you have to take out the climate control and then take apart the climate control and replace the bulb.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one with that problem.

Jdmb18c, don't even bother trying to find out what body code the EG really is. You will get so many different opinions, "facts" and "evidence" you won't know what to do with it....and you won't know anything more than you did before you asked.

The way I figure, my sig says that I have a '96 EX Coupe. I don't give a darn what the freakin body code is, my sig says everything that needs to be said.

Wow, I don't believe so many of you guys have this same problem too! I just tap mine several times and the light finally comes on, but then I move the slider or select another option and sometimes it goes off again.

If it is that hard to get to, then I'll just leave it alone.

That is exaclty what I used to do, tap the dash it goes on, move the temp and it goes off, hit a road dot on the freeway light goes back on, but I got real sick of it and had some spare time today so I started and got to that point where it was like "man this is gonna take forever but I have gone this far so I might as well finish"

My climate controls light did that on my 96 EX. If it was really cold outside it would work. Wierd?
Problem was that when it got cold my climate control light would work but my turn signal stalk would not turn the signal off after going through the corner. I always had to manually push the stalk back.
My wiper stalk also had problems. One day after pushing down on it something snapped and every time I hit a bump my wipers would come on. I had to shove a piece of rubber under the stalk to keep it from happening.
Anyone ever have that problem?

Well let's put it this way, now that I did it once I know all the tricks to getting the climate control out, it was just figuring out the the little quirks it took to get it out.
