A few people have asked about changing the colours on the heater controls.

I can't be bothered ripping mine out of the car, so I got one from Mania to pull to bits.

I hope this heaps.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

i think this is worthy of a sticker, if in case anyone decides to change their interior dash and console lights.

Find someone like Liam who has the skills and offer them dinner in return.

My reputation precedes me! :shock:

I just looked at that and thought it would be cool to change the aircon light to another colour, just because I can :D

If anyone wants to do this, I have many hundreds of 5mm red, green and blue LED's that you are free to snag if you need some.

I turned my temp a bit too fast this morning and I think it might have disconnected because it doesn't seem to work
is it possible for the wire to diengage?

how do you remove the unit? is it similar to the factory headunit?

I took these awhile ago, I think the red circle is the tab the loop on the heater cable needs to be around, it's more likely it's come off from the heater core than the controls.

You can get to these by popping the glove box out or removing the access panel above the pedals.

Thanks Okibi, I found the problem, just like in your picture, there is a wire loop that goes around that tab, it had come off.
For anyone else wonderin it's located on the drivers side just about the transmission tunnel, not hard to see once you have your head in the drivers side footwell
