Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing! Take it easy - Ozz
your info. is priceless . As a new 91' C4 owner and already 30 years old finding detail directions is quite difficult Thank you sir
No prob Ken, you're welcome.
Fantastic video with excellent verbal description
Thanks
I have to agree with a comment below... that this is one of the very best video's on UA-cam... helpful, detailed, no stuttering or stammering, right to the point... SUPERB !
Thanks Jon for the comment!
Thanks very much for posting this video Glen. My '93 Ruby's climate control buttons were sticking and one of the bulbs was intermittent. I followed your instructions exactly and she's back to working like a charm. The pencil eraser idea is genious!
Didn't even need Taz to get it done....
Nothing worse than Chaos causing problems in your Vette. Glad he stayed away! 😁 Thanks Rick for the comment.
My climate control system works again thanks to this video. Ozzstar is a great mechanic because he is experienced, clever and is not afraid to take something apart.
I appreciate the comment, thank you.
I followed/did this today and it worked as advertised. Same symptoms same results. Thanks
What a good feeling.
I recently purchased a 93 C4 and the climate control was really hard to operate. Followed this process and it works perfectly now. Thanks for the video.
Sure thing, glad it helped.
hey ozz just cleaned my climate control contacts on 1991 c4 vet . total success exactly like your video. total success and I had no idea what was wrong when I started . local shop wanted 1000 dollars
People like you are GREAT! Please multiply yourself!! Even if the attempted repairs fail the care and consideration are worth way more than money savings...from those of us decent caring people out here----THANK YOU
I really appreciate your comment Dan, means a lot!👍 Thank you!!
This was a great instructional video. My 1995 climate control was just about dead and is now fully functional. Really appreciated the quality instructions that are complete with the things to watch out for and avoid damaging the unit.
Thanks for your comment Cleve, glad your Vette climate control is working well now!!
Did this today on my 93, perfect fix! The single most helpful video I've ever watched-no b.s.- and it works!!! Took a little over an hour, methodical and careful wins.
Nice Sean!
Unlike other YT videos, yours didn't bore us with showing you unscrewing things, you just told us which ones to remove. This made the video shorter and more to the point. Good job!
Thanks 👍
@@ozzstars_cars You deserve it. BTW, do you have any other C4 videos on how to repair certain things in it?
@@moodberry yes, search Ozzstar Corvette 😉
I searched. Those are some things I need to do on my 92 vette. Glad I found your channel.
I followed directions exactly & my 94 Corvette Climate Control is now fixed. This has been 10 years of frustration that was fixed in 2 hours. Thank you. PS: I also had to remove the console elbow rest off, 4 phillips drive screws... real simple. Thanks again
+Don Roberto you are welcome. My contact info is in the video description lol Take care man!
Thanks for this. Exact problem I was having with my ‘96. Followed these steps and now it’s working perfectly and didn’t cost a dime!
Excellent! The tip jar is open. 😉
Thanks so much for posting this. Just followed this procedure and my climate control switches are now fully functional once more!
Mines an '89 that Ive had since it was new. Intructions are spot on and saved me $400 for a new unit. Thanks.
That's the kind of happy endings I like to hear about! Thanks Clayton
Dude awsome! I just bought a 93 Vette that had this issue, pulled out the unit cleaned the contacts and it works like a champ... THANKS!
The tip jar is open. 😄
Thanks for the video. I successfully removed/replaced my unit with no leftover parts!
lol that's a good thing! Stayed tuned to my channel, working on a new video where I get a non running '77 Corvette fired up and back on the road
Exact same problem in my 94 LT1. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. My car is a 96 so I had the vacuum module issue too. I fixed it a few days ago but knew I had another problem still. Glad I ran across this video. Some of my parts fit a little differently but the information was still very helpful. My HVAC is working perfectly now. Thanks again!!!!
You are welcome lex, glad it worked out. Thanks for the comment!
Hey Ozzstar, i just fixed the same issue on my c4 CE earlier today. Took me like an hour and everything works again. Your video was always very helpful. Keep them coming and thanks for the detail video.. Cheers!!!!

Just did this on my 1995 corvette pace car..worked like a charm..Thank you for the video..!!
Glad it worked out well. I just posted a video a couple of days ago you may be interested in. If the blower motor fan is stuck on high repair.
Just used this video and for the first time my air/climate control works perfect - thanks for the info. Mike
Thanks Ozzstar! Just finished this repair on my 1994 Corvette. Followed your Video Step by Step and it is working like new again! Saved me a bunch of money! You are the man!
Thanks man! Another success...i like it! Take it easy - Ozz
What an excellent video! I am on my 3rd HVAC unit in my 1993, which I have owned since 1996. Symptoms were exactly the same but now I know how to do it myself. Thanks again for this great how-to!
KS B thanks for the comment KS
Bought a 95 last week that had this exact problem. I was thrilled to see this vid. It took me 1:10:00, start to testing the AC. All good. Thanks much.
Not bad, even faster next time. 😁👍
I had the same problem with my car. Followed your instructions and all the buttons work now. Thank you so much!
Sucess! You are welcome. Thanks for your comment onemoreboat - Ozz
Four buttons stopped working in the climate control unit in my C4, but thanks to your tip I fixed it. Thanks!

Glad it helped you out Kevin! Stay cool.
Great video! I had this exact same problem with a ‘94 that I bought from a private seller. I never would have thought to clean the contact points. Great step-by-step. Saved me hundreds of dollars
Good news and thanks Matt. Don't forget the tip jar. 😁

Good news Buster. I am interested to know what you discovered that was different? Thanks for your comment
i had to remove armrest cover,screws in vent cover a little different. Again, thanks
Thank you for this video. I had the same issue, and now it is fixed!
Good to go!
Worked great! What a relief and an easy fix. I replaced the heater core last summer and when none of the controls worked this spring I thought maybe I'd messed something up when I did the heater core. Great to know that I didn't.
It's nice when things have a happy ending. Thanks for your comment. Take it Easy - Ozz
This is awesome!! I am having the same problem with my 94.. gonna try this instead of ordering another!! Thank you!!!!
Hopefully it works out well for you, many have had good luck fixing the issue. Let me know, take it easy - Ozz

I fixed the climate control on my 93 after seeing this. It was easy. It only takes about an hour! Thanks for a very helpful tutorial.
Good job Joe, glad it worked out. Your welcome and thanks for watching!

Thanks for this video, did this yesterday and it worked like a charm......even fixed the cigarette lighter while I was in there!
Excellent!
This video is awesome. Answers a lot of questions and concerns for me. I dealing with the same issues as you were. Thanks
You are welcome, thanks for the comment.
Followed this video today, and worked like a champ.
Nice!
Thank You! I have the same problem. Will be dealing with it in the winter.
Great vid recently got a 93' Vette and learning all the tricks keep em' coming
You got it Dan! Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy your Vette
Thanks for this great video. Will make my afternoon go much smoother.
Glad to hear the vid was helpful. Take it easy. -Glen
I follow your instructions and my problem was fixed. Thank you very much, your video really help me!!
You are welcome.
Great video tutorial!!!
I followed your video and performed the same repair on my 1993. It works great now and I don't have to buy a new A/C control unit. Thanks man keep up the awesome videos I really enjoy your channel!
I also did the blower resistor repair because it wouldn't stop. I got the replacement on Amazon for $40 and followed your instructions. Boom problems solved. I'm saving to buy willwood brakes and I also need new shocks. Thanks to you I'll have a guide to know how to do the job. I was wondering though I have the FX3 shocks on my 1993 are they any different than the ones you did? I'd appreciate any advice you might have. Thanks
Thanks Tony, glad the repair worked out well for you.
Just followed your instruction and my unit now works perfectly. I substituted rubbing alcohol for electrical cleaner. I sprayed some into it's own cap and used cotton swab. I also used it on the electrical connectors. Thank you! You saved me quite a bit of time and money.
Glad to help you out Rik, your welcome. Take it easy- Ozz
Been a week. It's working great!! Thanks again.
Rik
+RIKLASVEGAS Awesome!
So, I just left you a message about the Targa Top material repair. Now I find this on the Control Head for the A/C. Great! You are definitely the guy to know for repairs on my 90 Corvette.
👍
IT WORKS! Frustrated and unable to use the climate control unit, it seemed to have a mind of its own. Sometimes it would work, most of the time it wouldn't, buttons wouldn't respond, thought I would have to buy a new one. After watching your video I felt sure of myself and followed your directions...disassembled and cleaned the contacts...reinstalled the unit...and now it's working perfectly! One small problem I had was getting the rear wiring harness to fit back into the left cutout behind the climate control unit while reinstalling. I zip tied some split wire loom around the harness and it went back easily. Perfect! Everything works like it was new! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO.
You are welcome Holliday and thanks for your comment. You got the satisfaction of fixing it yourself and thats great. Take it easy- Glen
Thanks buddy!! Worked perfectly. 1 hour and its like new!
good job Ray, your welcome
I have the same issue with my 1995 so will follow your instructions. Thanks for posting.
Let us know how the repair goes. 👍
Fixed my 94...many thanks for posting this video
Happy ending! 👍
I just bought a 1990 ZR-1 that had been sitting for about 5 years. I am reworking everything, am having trouble with instrument cluster, no lcd, no warning lights, no indicators and no tones of any kind. I have the dash apart now and did confirm power to cluster from all sources, took it apart and all bulb holders are rusted and a lot of greenish corrosion, think I'm going to buy the Batee rebuild kit for it.
My climate control needs attention also, thanks for posting this video really helps a lot.
I got a ways to go on her but hopefully by fall she will be back together and smoking some tires. 👍👍🏁
That's a cool Vette to have! Be sure to find out why the corrosion occurred and make sure the leak is fixed. I'd like to film some LT5 repairs if I had a C4 ZR1 to work on. 👍 -Glen
Ohhh and I almost forgot you have powers but also check those grounds.
Thank you sooo much - I was soooo distressed not knowing how to turn on the stupid AC in the 95 Corvette! It was different single time - turning on the AC - it would work and then wouldn't work. I'm sure my husband can do this!!
You're welcome!
I don't have control on my head, except for a few buttons. Bro, i gotta admit, even watching you go through, it is still kind of intimidating. I'll keep you posted. Great video! Thanks!
Thanks so much for the instructional video, my 1996 C4 issue is I lose ALL power to my automatic climate control unit intermittently. the unit turns complete off, not lights, temp, fan etc. This video will help me remove and inspect the climate control.
Thanks again for sharing.
You are welcome Dlatin. Hopefully this repair will cure the problem your car is having, if not it's time for check into the climate control module and the blower motor control module (fan resistor). Good luck with the repair and thanks for commenting
Hey heads up ! I just finished working on my climate control on my C4 ! YAHOO !!!! Thanks Ozz keep it coming !!!!
+Villy glad it worked out well for you. Thanks!
Excellent Video I am going to attempt it tomorrow on my 95 c4
Good luck Mark
I did it worked perfect , you just saved me $ 600 . Thank you so much
You are welcome Mark. Glad it worked out well.
Was just about to buy another control unit. Will try this first. Thanks.
Great video, I'm having the same problem will give this a try.
Hope it solves your problem, and great ytube name! Thanks for watching yo mamma!
Thanks - fixed my intermittent problem with temp control!
Great that you got it fixed Norman! Take care - Ozz
Oh boy, what a life saver. Just bought (barn find) a 93 with 30k, bone stock. First owner was an engineer with GM, second owner had last 15 years. Minor issues, one including the Group #1 Electronic a/c panel not working right. Almost ordered a new one, but will in the next few days, take my time and do what you recommend..... I'm sure it'll work... Thanks from an old man in Hawaii........
Couldn't wait a few days, started, carefully, taking it apart as per your video which was clear and helpful. Once apart, I was able to open the unit and did the cleaning with an eraser and alcohol. I also did one other step and that was to clean those parts that touch the board when you push each button and found them a little dirty also.......... Assembled it all back together and "bingo" it all works as designed. Again, thanks for taking the time to put this video together, going to see if you have others on the 93 that I might be able to use....... aloha, arte
That great news Arte, thanks for your comment and I'm glad it worked out well for you. This video has saved people lots of money and I'm glad to help out. I do have many videos some including the C4 generation Vettes. I took a tour of the Bowling Green Kentucky Corvette Assembly plant a few days ago and it was amazing! Building the new 2017 model now....if you ever get to the mainland, check it out! Thanks for your comment and I'll see you on the next '93 Corvette vid.....take it easy - Ozz
Worked like a charm on my 96 vette. Thanks!
thats great Ivy! Thanks for your comment. - Ozz
I have a 1996 LT1 coupe, The climate control buttons did not work, was stuck on 70 degrees could not turn the unit off. I remove the control unit cleaned the pins & boards then reinstalled. Now all buttons work great.
Thank you!
The video has helped so many people and I appreciate all the donations to the channel. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks again for another helpful video! my warmer button not working most of the time, and will be using your vid as a guide.
I know this vid is 5 years old, but this tutorial is awesome. Just followed this to repair mine on my 94 and it worked like a charm. Oh rapture - LOL. Thanks.
Oldie but goodie! Thanks for commenting and subscribing.
Thx for this. I just did the work and am not putting back in. Took me 30 minutes total work. Such a simple fix for a really bothersome issue. Nothing like not having your AC turn on when it is 90 plus and the car has been sitting in the sun for a few hours.
Thanks for your comment
This is just what I was looking for. Hopefully my cleaning gets it working properly.
+turbovette426 good luck with the fix! Hopefully it will work for your car
Hey man, appreciate the video, worked like a charm!

Very informative and easy to follow thanks!!

Another satisfied subscriber....just repaired mine and it works like new. Thanks. Now, I have to replace my sound system...;-(.
Glad the repair worked out well for you. Thanks for commenting and being a subscriber. I'm sorry I didn't film the Bose radio and speaker swap out.
Worked like a charm! Thank you!!
TJ Jackson cool deal TJ, your welcome. - Ozz
Great video, I bought a 94, and the ac worked fine but two weeks later the controller wasn't working. I thought I just got a nightmare. But, I followed your video and everything works great, it took me about 2 hours, but I was taking my time. Thanks for the help. P
Paul Saunders nice repair! Glad to help ya out Paul. Now you can spend all that money you just saved doing something else to the car......or buy me a beer?? lol You take it easy and thanks for commenting - Ozz
Awesome video. I just bought a 96 that has the same problem. Same buttons as yours intermittently working. Going to do this contact cleaning soon....Also, I have that same shirt! Thanks!!!
Good taste in wardrobe fashion. 👍😄
Very helpful. My 90 Corvette spent too much time in the Seattle weather. I hope that when I year into mine it will look that clean. Go Seahawks
