Auto temp control to manual?

My 2006 F250 has the Auto climate control, but I see the ext temp doesn't work anymore, and when I got the truck it looks like someone spilled coffee all over the dash at some point. I bought the truck used back in august, well, what happens is that the buttons are hard to push in, and end up sticking. I was wondering if I could just change it to a manual climate control unit, plug and play?

No you cant, the electrical system is different. I know those control heads are very expensive but have you looked on Ebay? I see them there fairly regularly for a fraction of dealer pricing. Maybe your selling dealer will help you out, as that sure is exactly the typical scenario for spilled coffee or drink onto the control head. Maybe it was in a collision just before you purchased it and there was a drink in the cup holder. Common issue...

I guess I will have to get one on EBay, any links anywhere else for a reasonable price?
