How can I test a EK climate control to see if it functions without the actually car?

Default How can I test a EK climate control to see if it functions without the actually car?

Okay so i have sold my EK about 7 months ago and found

two spare climate controls, one for a 96-98 EK and the other is a 99-00 Climtae control...

I would like to test them and make sure they are in working order...

is there a way to test if they are working without having the actually car itself ?

One tool that may come in handy is that i have a battery booster pack and a numerous amount of computer power supplies...

and no I dont have any one else with an EK cause most of my friends drive Nissans, Toyota's and Mazda's

so any suggestions?

thanks

I'm going to have to guess that it might just be a good idea to wait until you find a car you can install them in or sell them for a cheaper price and say that you don't know if they function fully.

What you describes sounds like you might be able to figure out if it lights and that's about all.

I'm not sure you could really test them very well either. You could definately test the backlighting, but short of trying to put some power on them and test all the pins to know expected voltages, you're kinda SOL. For an item that isn't worth 100 bucks on it's own, I don't think I'd be willing to put in that much time and effort.
