Hey Dr Ford, no hijack intended. Just my experience with the dealer knowing what they are doing or not with programming. For the record, all the audio buttons lit up so presumably the clock spring was fine. I don't have the truck now so moot point.

Ok, that's awesome!

What about the blower "control module"? It looks identical physically to the blend door actuator motor. Any programming within it? If so, no biggy as that one I can get to without ripping the dash apart and it only costs $100.

The blower motor speed control module also is not relevant to your project.

That's kinda what I figured. Dude, you rock!!

By the way, I tracked down a used hvac control unit with all of the same features and the PTC heater. The guy will sell to me for $250! Score!!!
