Still waiting for "defrost-feet" ECU software patch
#16
Not long ago Douggie posted a fix that involved de-soldering a couple of microswitches. Has anyone tried it ? Does the AC not come on at all in the "feet" setting if these switches are desoldered ? And what about the AC light not coming on in any of the three "defrost " positions ? Does de-soldering remedy this ?
Maybe a better and less risky solution is replacing the 2002 circuit board with a 2001 or 2000 ? This would be my pick, if it's possible, since there are several wrecked Protege's in nearby junkyards.

Now, my A/C come on ONLY when I press the button.
