Lincoln MKS Climate Control Panel Removal 2013-2016

Описание: Update: I removed my unit and sent it to Ebay user "Quality Auto Services" for a $279 repair. Took just over a week from the time I shipped it out to the time I got it back in my hands. It has only been one day, but it all works perfect. I had a bunch of dead buttons that all work now and they do warranty their work.
