I think it's very clear from all the comments on this thread that you did an excellent job conveying how to access the Climate Control Display. Thanks for the great video and instruction. You've given me the confidence for doing the job myself on my car. Again...thanks for the great video and instruction.
Thank you for the feedback.
I appreciate how clear your instructions are. It makes life so much better. You are the best person at making tasks manageable out of anyone I've seen. Thanks again.
Owner of a 91 twin turbo. Please keep posting videos.... your attention to detail and caution is what proper enthusiasts want to see. 👍
Hi Nathan. Thanks for watching. Lots more videos to come. I will keep on making them as long as people keep requesting and watching or until I run out of money.

I’ve taken a dash out of a donor car , so I know I can do it, but I’ve got to remove the dash out of my beloved 91 GTO to access the 3 gauge pod, and I’ve been putting it off because I want to do it with more care this time. Your video is very timely for me , as it is a thorough guide to doing it carefully. Thanks for starting the channel, and good luck with growing your subscriptions.
Hi Ted. The video for full dashboard removal in 30 minutes is now online. I hope it helps. Regards. Joe
I hoped you had a video for this and here it is, thanks a lot, I always removed the central console side covers and the dash vents the hard way, this is way easier.
Very good vídeo, from Querétaro México,
Thanks for the great video, I’m working on replacing the dash vents this weekend and your videos are super helpful!
I absolutely love your channel. Such great detail explaining about these cars. Keep up the good work.
You are awesome, I have to have my climate control refurbished. Do you happen to know what causes a fuel cutoff at full throttle and boost at 14 psi .No one seems to have a definite answer.
On my car the lights on the unit only work on the buttons on one side, is there a bulb on each side behind the buttons that illuminate it, the display still works fine thankfully?
Hi.
There is a separate bulb for each side. You will need to remove the display unit to gain access to the bulbs at the rear. You do not need to open the unit up. A simple flat blade screw driver will turn the bulb a quarter turn anti clockwise to remove it.
video for the srs for 3000gt please
hello joe another top vid as always helps us newbys out heaps ,is there any chance of showing the center console removal as i want to find out why my autobox shifter is loose many thanks alan parsons from wiltshire ,also was good to chat to you the other day
Nice job! Can you do a video on how to remove the door panels?
I would be happy to. They can be really tricky. I will add it to the list of upcoming videos. Because it is a relatively short video, it may get moved up the list quite soon. Thanks for the request.
@@3000GTGTORestoration Awesome! I need to do this soon. Thanks!
It's now available Andrew. Let me know if you are happy with it.
I'm doing exactly what you did but the vent duct will not budge

I honestly love hearing you talk about these cars. They are obviously very important to you and it shows. My climate controls just crapped out on me two months ago so this video is yet again perfect for what I need. Thanks again. Can't wait for part 2!
Part 2 is now available and part 3 is in production. Do you have someone to repair the display for you?
Hi ! This is Martin from Argentina! You are helpful by me great time restoring my VR4!
Have a problem though. The original radio digital head unit (diamante) is not working and I was wondering if you know about a place where to get a new one or parts to repair it. It is exactly the head unit showed in this video!

Thank you!! I had a brief whiff of something electrical frying and then it got cold in my 91 VR4 (Ambient temp that day was in the low 30's) The display didn't work but I still had mode, temp and fan control. Now I have nothing. Removing now and I can breathe easier with the help of this video!
Again, Thank you!!
Thank you so much!
I will attempt at removing my AC climate control on 1.19.20. I have been searching for a similar video since 3.2019. Thank you
Very helpful thanks brother
I have a 1992 dodge Stealth. I followed your example to the letter. It worked perfectly thank you!!
this is a great video/tutorial on how to work with these dashboards and the various pieces that are installed in it, i like the easy no nonsense approach that you take for an enthusiast like me to have confidence in working on these cars from a bygone era, please keep them coming on the 3000 gt, gto, or dodge stealth they are much appreciated for all of us that have these cars or for me going to buy one soon we need this invaluable resource to help us thanks,, great job keep it up please.👌👌👋👋
Hi anyone know where I can get the outer rubber seal weatherstrip for the sunroof I have 94 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL. Thanks
Gary New Zealand.? Great vids, own GTO one owner 1991.
Can you explain where the electronic plug from the computer is located for the fitting a I Drive fuel regulator to adjust fuel to the engine to increase power performance.
A photo would be great to show the type of plug and the number of pins etc.
You saved me. My climate control screen burned out on my 93 stealth r/t twin turbo. I've had this car 30 years and as you know parts are impossible to come by sometimes. I was trying to find someone to help me because I have neuro problems with my hands due to a car accident. I watched this video a few times, picked up the extra tools you described and decided to do it myself. It was a success, although my shaking lost a couple of screws. Took longer to find new screws, than to follow your directions and remove it myself. Thank you so much for doing these videos. I did send it to the ebay Texas repair. I will now check your channel when the next thing needs repair. Lea from Minnesota
Can you make a video for how remove and change the lights for center dash gauges mitsubishi 3000gt base 1995. Thanks
If you have a moment, would you mind checking out my vids on my channel having issues on my 94 3000gt and I'm clueless
very nice video. Do you have a video to fix the SRS light and replace any sensors?
Dear Repairman, your videos are very good. I understand you repair climate control assembly. I have a Mitsubishi GTO3000 1994 model.
The display on my climate control panel is not functioning as the circuit board is burnt in 1 or 2 areas. How do I go about sending the unit to you.
Please advise.
My email is dhamonaidu@gmail.com
Really appreciate all your videos. Without your assistance. I wouldn't have been able to replace my power antenna motor. My 1992 VR4 I bought brand new. It oy has 60,000 miles. The display just failed and your video was absolutely essential to me to remove the display and controller. One question: even with magnetic tip screwdrivers, I managed to lose several screws into the abyss. I will buy more. Must I locate these for fear of rattling noises after I fix and reinstall?
Thanks, Martin in Miramonte, California USA.
Only one way to find out.
Hi, Thanks for the video. Do you repair the climate controller? I am based in Cambridge UK
Yes I do as long as it has not been taken apart previously. Please contact me by private message on the forum.

They are fast on the rare occasions when they run correctly
When I removed my A/C control panel I noticed a small white switch on the top right of the unit. This switch was in the center position. I had purchased a replacement and noted that the same switch was in the in a diferent postion (to the right). Any thoughts on this ?
It will work fine in either position
Loving your attention to detail in these videos! Keep them coming!
Sr. i love u videos thank u so much
How do you make it look so easy😭😭😭😭
Hi Joe, I hope you're doing great! Here's Jonas from Sao Paulo - Brazil, I'm also doing my best to bring to life my 1992 3000 GT VR4, it has being king of neglected from previous owners. I would like to see where the connector D-45 female is located, I can saw the male one unplugged. I know it might differs from your, since mine is left hand side steering. But maybe is just mirrored. Can you give me that tip?
OMG. I was doing a big whinge because that's the switch that is holding up the whole works and I just happened to look again at this video and lo and behold....it started right where I last left off...right on this spot ( the switch above the climate control).Joe you're my hero.
Thank you. This will come in handy soon as my display has been going in and out. Plus my other VR-4 has vents that need replacement.
cool and thanx
thank you man
how can i take off the one from a 97? it doesnt have that unit its the other style
This is the only type I know of so I am sorry but I don't know the answer.
Thanks for a very informative video. I need to replace my dash vents on my 92 RT TT but have been hesitant after reading the manual. Your video takes a lot of the fear out of it. I look forward to part two. Now a question, any chance you know of a replacement for the radio encoder (volume control) for the original factory radio? I need to replace mine but have had no luck in finding a replacement. Thanks.
Most standard radio's will work but some will require a cable adapter. If you want to use the steering wheel controls, you may need a interface but it will depend on the make and model of radio. If you are not changing the radio and you are just having problems with the steering, volume controls, they are a very basic piece of electronics that is very easy to repair. The main problem they have is dry joints so you should be able to fix it yourself or get it fixed locally. I am what you might call a purist so I never use anything other than original specification parts so I am probably not the best person to talk to about changing radio's or using non standard parts. I would recommend talking to your local mitsubishi dealer for advice or a car audio specialist. They will hopefully have a lot of experience in this area. If you are not confident with the advice they give, then post a message in a forum and hope there is someone who has had experience with this issue. I have also attached a picture of a product from the states that claims to give hassle free interface but I haven't tried it myself. Maybe you could give them a call. Don't forget that if your buttons are faulty, the interface won't work.

Thanks for the reply. I’m the same as you, I like to keep everything original and stock. I can find encoders but the stem length is always too short. I just thought I’d ask in case you had dealt with this issue in the past. Anyway, I can’t wait for dash video part two. 🤗
@@terrygetting1050 It looks like I may have misunderstood what you was talking about. Are you talking about the electric antenna that goes up and down?
3000GT / GTO Restoration. The original Stealth / Mitsubishi radio’s had an issue with the volume controls failing. They use a rotary encoder rather than a resistor to change level and I have been trying to find a replacement encoder for mine since the original is no longer made. I started out going to local dealers but they know nothing about these cars. One even told me it was time to buy something new!? Anyway, I have been searching the internet but can’t find a replacement that matches the original. Changing it out is pretty simple, take the radio apart and three solder joints later it’s done - if I can find a replacement that is. So if you have any leads I can follow that would be great, otherwise, no worries.
Had to part with the 3000gt this last weekend... was a great car
I am sorry to hear that. I hope that you will return to the scene in the future.
Love all your videos, very helpful, thanks ! I have a 95 SL and the lights behind my (old dial style) climate controls won't light. I noticed that you don't have a car with the old style climate controls on them, but regardless wondering if you may be able to do a video on how to troubleshoot dash lights ? All my other dash lights work except these, so suspect something got unplugged when the previous owner installed a new radio......just need some help figuring out where the wiring runs and what I should check. Any help is much appreciated and thanks again !
Great videos.
Hello again my friend! As I’m getting to the earlier videos, I can now see you’ve already done some very fun parts! I have a question, will this process be the same on a 1999 3000GT? Mine doesn’t have the digital climate controller, mine has the circle dials. Also, should we unplug the battery before removing the radio and climate controller?
Regards, Gold wolf USA.

Thanks for keeping it simple. I need to take my dash out to replace the air vents at the front of the dash.
Hi Gary. Thanks for liking my video. Watch out for part 2 which will show you how to remove the complete dashboard in 30 minutes and part 3 which shows how to restore the warped dash so that the vents will fit back like new. Regards. Joe

Nice!
You are the best!!! Thank you friend
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it.

Great Video. My climate control screen just went out so repair/replacement is in the future. Can you do a video on how to reinstall the climate control unit? Removing seems straight forward but I'd like to know more about the install order for the climate controller and display. Thanks!!
Hi Seth.
Installation is the exact reverse of removal. At the moment, I am only doing strip down, testing and repair videos for free. Later in the year, I will be doing a dvd collection which will cover hundreds of manufacturing tips, overhauling, re-assembly, re-conditioning, part identification, restoration and rare part sources. There will be a small charge for the dvds but any one of the jobs covered in the dvd, will cover the cost of the entire dvd. The dvds will be in 5 parts covering interior, exterior, engine, drive chain and other areas. These free videos have cost me $1000s so I hope you will consider supporting me when the dvds become available. Which country are you in Seth?
@@3000GTGTORestoration I am in Milwaukee, WI USA. I would definitely purchase the DVD's...as long was you have region free or region 1. Thanks for all your videos
