what!?!!


anyway, if you need to replace something on the A/C control panel (like a knob or button) you might have to replace the whole panel. try to remove the panel around the shifter and find the piece you dropped.

lol... i knew i'd get an answer like that. Its too cold to look around (around 5-10 degrees F today) I'll take pics of what im talking about when I have time.

I dropped the shift lock cover in there and I'm planning on taking apart the whole center console to find it.. has to be in there...
AHHH, yeah man, totally feel your pain.

Good luck finding the piece.

Well yeah, sunlight is super essential to find it, I tried looking at night and it was impossible. I'm trying again tomorrow, just take apart the whole center console and brake cover and shifter cover and hopefully it'll be in there.

That switch is ONLY on 99's. Good luck finding it. 2000-2003 switched to a recirculate button like the A/C and rear defrost button.

thanks for the info. Man I thought that button was an option, guess I have to look harder to find one

Yo rich,

I just remembered how I knew it was on 99's only.

I bought a HVAC control off ebay a while ago and it had the switch where my 2000 didnt. I needed it because my defroster button's light broke. It said it was from a 99 Solara, so I learned they switched it over in 2000. That means I should be able to pull the knob thing off the center switch off that 99's HVAC control. PM your address and if I can find it in my pile of car crap, I'll ship it to you.

2 words: junk yard. Besides, don't they have the knobs at your local stealership? I don't imagine it being too expensive.

7 bucks for a damn knob is expensive and i belive thats with the employee discount
