RE: climate control replacement

["Livolsi, Stephane" <livols1@investorsgroup.com>]

I hear you!  At least yours worked!  Changing the temperature setting on
mine doesn't do a thing, and when I put it on LO, the A/C clutch cycles
on and off rapidly which is very annoying.  On econo and auto, the fan
always goes full blast, except sometimes when it slows for a few seconds
then kicks up again.
