Climate Control Knob

Climate Control

It mechanically rotates an internal potentiometer or switch to send electrical signals to the climate control module, adjusting heating and cooling output and fan speed settings.

The climate control knob is part of the manual HVAC interface that lets you adjust temperature, fan speed, and air distribution mode. Over time, the knob may crack, become loose, or the internal mechanism may wear out, making it difficult to turn or causing it to slip out of adjustment. Replacement typically involves removing the dashboard trim panel to access the knob and its mounting shaft.
