Distorted Screen
 
Hi.

Can anyone suggest how to get my climate control screen to clear up?

I caused this a few weeks ago when I was whipping down the interior. I did not squirt any cleaner in there, but the rag did have some on it. I also don't think I pressed too hard, but apparently I must have. Since the initial damage, the screen has cleared quite a bit, but this image here is pretty much how it's looked for over a week. So I'd say it's not getting much better now.

Any ideas on how I might get this to clear up?

Thanks!!http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1480021543.jpg

Looks like you have a damaged climate control LCD.
One of these https://modulemaster.com/rebuilds/shop/comfort/lcd-repair-kits/porsche-lcd-kit/ will fix you right up.

How on earth does that work? By the looks of the pictures it looks like you have to disassemble the entire climate controller, yet the write up indicates otherwise.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, you have to remove and disassemble the climate control unit to replace the screen. It's easy. ;)

This one is an exact replacement with the same icons ads factory.
996/986 LCD Display unit wth connectors (replacement kit)

Its also less $$ than most

Many others have different icons

It is a very easy DIY. When I did mine with the 914 rubber kit, it took maybe 15 minutes tops including removing and reinstalling the climate control
Use the instructions you can download from Module Masters

I just bought a working used one (entire unit) on fleabay for $75 shipped as a spare if mine ever craps out.

The kit is very easy to use as others have said.

I just repaired using an new LCD kit for $60. Piece of cake, took about 20 minutes and works perfectly.

The LCD repair kits are easy to install as long as you take your time and are detailed.

I did mine last Summer--well worth the effort.

If you buy a used climate control module there's no guarantee it won't do the same thing to you down the road. Best to get the repair kit. I got it and took mine apart with instructions provided and it was no big deal.

An exact replacement for the original.

will even work in your car, not all the same. I did this and the control unit was not compatable with my car. I would up exchanging the LCD screen only using the one I purchased as a donar
