For 2010 and earlier models, start by removing the instrument panel center trim bezel and then proceed to remove the mounting screws for the control assembly, separating it from the bezel. To reinstall, reverse the removal steps, ensuring all electrical connectors are reconnected before installing the center trim bezel. For 2011 and later models, it's essential to note that multiple modules control heating and air conditioning functions: the A/C Switch, Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM), and Front Display Interface Module (FDIM). They collaborate and independently manage HVAC systems. The A/C Switch is behind the FCIM and FDIM. While you can replace the A/C Switch at home, the FDIM replacement must be handled by a dealer service department due to the need for module configuration programming. Begin by disconnecting the negative battery cable. For the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM), on automatic transmission models, shift the lever to neutral and remove the shift lever trim panel. Slide back the floor console trim after removing its screws, and then take out the screws from the bottom of the center trim panel. Use a plastic trim tool to disengage the retaining clips and remove the FCIM assembly from the instrument panel. Disconnect the electrical connectors at the module and reverse these steps for installation. For the A/C Switch, first, remove the FCIM and FDIM modules. Disconnect the electrical connector/harnesses at the front of the module, taking note of the number of connectors depending on your model's temperature control type. Depress the tabs on the sides of the module and remove it. Installation is the reverse of removal.
