    I have a 96 and my climate control screen has some kind of red blur in one side> Almost looks like liquid. What is it and is it fixable? Was it a cause of a hit or something. Its looks wierd and i want it fixed.

    I don't think that will be fixable. Usually it's a sign that it will be going soon. But, if it's minor, and not spreading, then it should be fine for now if you can live with it. Unfortunately, most of the time when you have issues with the CC, it has to be completely replaced. Which ain't cheap.

    I bet it was hit. Sounds like the LCD was cracked and leaked inside itself. I've had calculators do that to me before.

    I don't know if there's a part number or if you can only get it with the HVAC, but the screen is a separate piece from the rest of the unit. If there is a part no., it's very easy to replace.

    I think it's obvious that I don't care how fast my car is.
