Installing rocker switches...

[99Yuk]

...in the rear ac control blank.

So I had some time today and dremel'd out the blank.

Here are the pics.

Next up is to wait for the cab lights to arrive so I can pull the headliner down and wire this stuff up.

Nice! Makes me want to buy some switches! haha

i could never find that blank so i never did my overhead console yet. i mounted switches by the cluster for now

 

[99Yuk]

Thanks guys!

Here's what they look like mounted up...

I still say they look like pure sex...

Boy I hope you have a garage to work in with that kind of cold!

And I do say, they look sexay! I'm going to do the same in mine.

Oh, do you not have rear a/c, so no switch? I've got rear a/c and was thinking I could just rewire the switch for permanent rear control and throw the front switch away. Thoughts?

Yup! I have the family owned auto repair garage that I can use if I need to! But I try not to do any work to the truck in the winter for that reason. The mechanics and apprentices don't like to work on my trucks on a good day because 'I'm not a paying customer', and they really don't like to work on it when it's dripping melted snow water on their necks. So I schedule regular maintenance/modding on my three DD's for the summer, and only try to have them do emergency repairs in the winter.

To be honest, I don't know what that blank looks like when it has the rear ac controls, so I might be way off base here, but what if you permently wire up the rear ac to run in sync with the front ac and then buy a new blank and install switches up there as if there was no previous rear ac controls? Is that possible?

You've given me the inspiration to finally do this to my truck this year!

if the '96 is the same as '95 in overhead consoles then take this info to your local dealer or head to a junkyard.

Again this is the info for a 1996 4d. Linked here.
