There is a step by step write up somewhere on corvetteforum about that. Its basically souldering some stuff better on the board. I found it easier to just go and buy a new unit. It hasn't failed in the last 4 years now.

Just fixed mine using a writeup & pictures found on the Corvetteforum. Was a lot easier than I thought. There is a detailed picture of the components that usually fail. I hit the joints on each one with a fine tipped soldering iron & it was done. Took me longer to take it in & out than to perform the repair.

My internet @ home is on the blink & at work the firewall won't let me get on. Get on the Corvette forum & search "Climate control display fix", & I think that'll get it for you. Ther are a few threads, but one has a couple pictures with the components circled in red. Hope this helps.
