    Heater / Air cond buttons ?

    This has prob. been discussed bfore but I couldn't find any info
    What are the push button controls out of ?
    I checked at the wrecker in about 15 3rdgens but they all only had the regular slider controls. Is it out of a 4th gen ?

    Ive never seen a 3rd gen accord with anything other than the button type heater controls in the UK no matter what trim level.
    Are the heater controls I have the same as the US spec ones just out of interest.

    Put a piece of cloth on the knob (so you don't damage it) and then grab it with a pair of pliers. Wiggle it and pull on it, it'll come off then without too much effort. The pliers definitely help.

    yes canadian LX models are different, it's pretty much the same as the american DX, mine is an LX and it has power steering, a/c ( the a/c was put in aftermarket and it still doesn't work ) but no power windows or locks or a sunroof, damnit i want a sunroof!!!

    87accord:

    I tried to convert my lever controls to button controls on my 89 dx sedan, but had no luck. I needed to get a mode control unit to put on the heater assembly in order for the buttons to work. Even then I don't know if it would've worked. The main problem is that there is no place to plug the buttons into. You'll need the wire harness for an lxi dashboard in order to do it. I had this and it still didn't work because it needs the motor on the heater unit that changes the controls in order to work. On dx and lx models you do it manually with a lever. On lxi and sei I believe it's done with a the motor that interfaces with the buttons.

    Needless to say, it's not really worth it. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's as far as I got.

    I wish there was a how to on it. I have everything, buttons, metal plate, wire harness. Even the vent with the cold air switch that the dx doesn't have. I guess all I'm missing is the control motor. Maybe I'll go to the junk yard and find one. I'll give it a shot next weekend.
