[s-cars] odometer

[derocco_16v at comcast.net]

Nathan, 

Climate control unit is fine now, it had dead pixels but this has been taken care of. It is now the odometer/trip meter LCD display that went dead on me. I was going to replace bulbs in the entire cluster anyway, so I will be pulling the whole thing out soon, and wanted to repair all issues at one shot if possible. 

Thanks. 



Martin,

Martin, 

What is wrong with the LCD on your climate control head?  Mine had a 
couple of cold solder joints, where there would be no display unless one 
were to push on the divider between the temperature and fan displays.  I 
took the unit apart, reflowed a bunch of solder joints, and it works fine 
again. 

I've got a spare CC head from a 95 A6 if you need one.
