AC Controls, anyone replaced them?

So I swapped the radio last night and in doing so cracked the white AC controls where they mount to the front panel. They still work fine and are solid but I am anal and would rather replace them if the cost isn't insane. Has anyone replaced theirs? What was the cost? If not does anyone know the parts number so I can call a dealer and ask. Or if anyone works at a dealer and could look it up that'd be great.

If you haven't swapped the radio you likely don't know what I am talking about. It's the actual controls for the AC/Heat. It has the 3 cables coming off of it to control the temp and so on.

Something similar happened to me when I replaced my head unit, only it was just the fan speed switch that got broken. I went to Majestic Honda, who has a full listing of most of the parts on your car, and ordered a new switch. It's been handy for the little stuff, like clips you break or lose. I also got the hooks for my aftermarket mats there.

The heater controls are listed here - Depending what you broke, I think you're looking for number 006 in the illustration (008's what I broke).

Thank you sir, that is exactly what I need. It's certainly cheaper to buy only the piece I need also. Although taking it all apart may be a challenge but thats fine with me. You made my day, rep points for you.

How quick did you get the parts?

Well, soon after I ordered I realized I had forgotten some stuff, so I had them add it in just before the original order was supposed to have shipped, so it was slower than it would have been, but I finished ordering 9/18, the parts shipped from RI 9/21, and arrived at my door in NY 9/25. So, pretty quick. Packed well, all in Honda factory wrap.

As far as difficulty installing, it should just screw into place - the cables should detach with a twist, and the fan speed switch is held in with a plastic clip. Good luck.

Thanks for the info, I ordered the part I needed plus a few extra clips just in case.
