Intermittent A/C Heater with relay clicking. I understand this is a common problem with this module and why GM discontinued it. This module uses the electronic display and electronic board module combo. Can anyone tell me what particular parts go bad on this board? I would rather replace the components then replace the whole board if possible.
Service # on the module: 16143956 date: 20 Jan 1990 module was a remanufactured unit.
