my climate control in my car broke and i am looking at replaceing it with another USDM model. i was wanting to know would i have to pull the whole dash off to replace it like the JDM one or could i just pull it out and put the another stock USDM one its place.

 

if you're planning on swapping to a JDM climate control, you'll need to take the dash off and hook up a lot of wiring and a few sensors. I've seen full setups selling on ebay for around $200...What year Prelude do you have? I have a 5th Gen. USDM CC sitting in my room

 

Sorry didnt clarify it I have a 94 prelude. No im just wanting to go with the stock USDM one not JDM. So i was wanting to know if since I was going with the USDM one if I had to have to pull the dash off or if I could just unbolt the old one and put the new one in.

 

You can simply take out your old CC without removing the dash. How did your cc break? Most of the time, you can simply resolder it and repair it yourself.

 

ok thanks cuz i didnt know if you had to take the dash off just to replace the USDM one.. Well the lights keep fickering like gettin dime and bright by themselfs and two buttons got pushed in at the same time and now ther both stuck in and when i go to push another option those buttons are stuck in and wont release so i cant choose anything else

 

I found this thread on another forum. seems like a common problem with us 4th gens. Mine needs this fixed as well.

Thanks for that thread post it helped out on how to take it apart i just didnt want to jump in there and start tearing stuff apart lol. But can a 5th gen CC buttons (not with the vents) go in a 4th gen they look the same i just didnt know if the connections are different on the back side because I cant find a decent 4th gen set of CC buttons?

 

Are there any import wrecking yards in your area? You know, car graveyards? Bust out your phone book or hell maybe even google and do a thorough search. In my own experience, auto wrecking yards have pretty much rebuilt my brothers car.

 

No around in my town theres only a hand full of preludes at the most so its really hard to come across a prelude in salvage yard.. Anyone ever try'd the 5th gen CC into a 4th gen
