If you are not replacing the radio It seems like it would be a lot less hassle to clean the buttons off with it in the dash and put the stickers on with it in the dash.
The issue with the stickers is that you can tell they have been replaced at night when the lights come in on the dash. It's noticeable and for those that are detail oriented it will drive you nuts
Does anyone know if i can swap to the single zone climate controls with the knobs? I never use the dual zone and I think the knobs would look better than the screen.
If you do accidentally use too much alcohol, it shouldn’t really bother anything electronic wise so long as you give it a few minutes to dry before plugging it back in.
I would try and be sparring with alcohol, but if you do geymt some inbetween the buttons i would use low pressure compressed air like 40psi and run the air inbetween the buttons for 10 min to distribute and evaporate the alchole, but yes overall alchole is safe for electronics as long there is no power applied because it evaporates quickly and leaves no residue.
I have a question for you. On my steering wheel I have only one button that shows a tiny bit of wear (it’s hard to notice but defects like that really stand out to me) but wanted to protect it from further damage. After opening I got my replacement stickers I see instructions say to remove the rest of the original material off the button before replacing it with the sticker that will become semi permanent. My question for you is can I leave the material on there and place this sticker over it or would that damage the material on the button and also make these sticker not useful?
I hate that they went to the button controle vs the dial. My 02 was way more convenient. The digital display on my 2013 between the 4 way buttons wouldnt turn on this morning. I'm just quick trying to diagnose through internet before I go in there tomorrow and figure out problem. hopefully won't need full controle module
I know this is late, but it's a loose wire or failing LED. Electrical tape will (probably) fix the wire to secure it. As for the LED, you'd have to open up the control module (unplugged obviously) and see what LED is there and just swap it. Could be one or the other, or it could be both
Yes they do, they look and work just like factory, and they last a long time. My wife has long nails and uses her nails to push the buttons and they still look good to this day.
Connor Langston i saw that when I first installed them. I took them off & colored in the button w/ a black sharpie, everything except where is is suppose to light up, then put on a new sticker. Looks like brand new now
Thank you. I re-watched this video and realized how bad the camera and audio are lmao. On a side note i was just watching some of your videos, i really liked the one " make your mechanic happy". Very well said and i wish more people would take your advice. Just last week i had to put a fuel pump in a 3rd gen chevy tahoe with a completely full tank, the struggle is real.
@@moparguy2011 doing a repair while catching it on video can be tough at times . Especially getting great angles with the camera can be tricky. Thank you for watching . Definitely cant stand a full tank when doing a fuel pump . Or interior work when its filthy.
The problem with removing that faux wood cover like that, the piece never fits back in properly and rattles like crazy. I know. Dont do this! Just use the stickers, clean the control with alcohol, and carefully stick on.
@@builditbetter5610 how much is the whole assembly ? I need to replace mine in my 08 LMM Duramax LT. Just haven’t priced one yet. Stumbled across this video.
I know the unit he’s replacing in a 2010 Chevy Tahoe is about 170 if you send them your old unit. Just google ac module and your year and model ! Hope this helps
Best of intentions, but the worst video ever. 1/2 the video was spent trying to fumble and break the frame. Oy! Start with the top corners. Off in under two minutes, no damage.
You must have never worked on an older vehicle that has spent its life in Texas with the UV index we have , all plastics become brittle and crack way too easy. Just giving people a realistic expectation lmao
@@builditbetter5610 Not a correct assumption. I only work on older vehicles. I understand why you made the video, but there are much, much better ways to remove that bezel with far less stress on that brittle, aging plastic.

Love that you didn’t edit the struggle

Maybe use a black Sharpie around the edges before you put the stickers on.
I think you can put stikers without removing the panel control
Yes you definitely can. To replace the sticker’s you leave all that stuff alone and just apply them. Other videos on how to do it easier and smarter
@@wesleyarnold6018 He was looking at replacing the radio, so he was going to take off the bezel anyways. He did it smarter and easier.
@@wesleyarnold6018 "smarter and easier" is a funny way to say "wrong"
For me, job well done will be whether all the stray light is properly obscured when back lit.
off topick what radio is that your useing

Thank you for making the video. It was helpful for me on replacing climate control module.
Does a new control module need to be programmed?
Do the buttons light up thru sticks?
No!
Yes they do lol

Dude you’re giving me anxiety trying to get that cover off
It's Chevy plastic not dodge it won't crack
this is so stressful
@@TheWolverine-rm2kr tell that to my tahoes dash
Holy Shit , thank you. I was like what the fuck, can’t get the cheap ass plastic cover off
getminesallday24 : Man I heard that shit. Damn Tahoe’s
Where did you get the stickers
Amazon
There is a link in the description.
The lights on just the temp control module is very dim on mine (just wheretemp and fan speed light up). What can I do?

where do you buy the replacement stickers?
I bought mine on Amazon.
How do I turn of the air
i didn't have to pull the radio or the cig lighter panel
What happens at night when they don't light up tho
Mine light up at night. The icons on the stickers are semi transparent.
@@moparguy2011 ok thanks
Do the logos on the buttons still light up through these stickers?
Yes they do, they look and work just like factory, and they last a long time. My wife has long nails and uses her nails to push the buttons and they still look good to this day.
Yea I put them in my truck but it shines threw the black part of the sticker to at night
Connor Langston i saw that when I first installed them. I took them off & colored in the button w/ a black sharpie, everything except where is is suppose to light up, then put on a new sticker. Looks like brand new now

I feel like replacing the buttons would be a better fix. Not shure if you can buy new buttons though. If not then I gess thos is a decent solution.
I haven't seen where to source the buttons without buying the whole assembly which is pricey

So they arill light up?
Nevermind found your answer in the comments :-)
Where'd you get the stickers from?
They are linked in the description.
Anyone up for a game of Simon Says?
You can remove those buttons!!
I don't know what that is but it's not a Chevy Silverado

Garbage GM electrical issues. LS is good motor but the electrical problems plague GM .
