My friend was turning on the ac and he accidentally broke the knob. I want to know what do i need to buy to replace it. Here are a couple pictures of it.

 

need better pics. did the white piece break off with the knob??

 

yeah the white piece also broke off so i think i have to change that whole part...

 

Hit up a junk yard. Better yet, give LKQ or Certified Auto Recyclers a ring and have them ship the HVAC panel to you. Otherwise it's a very costly part from the dealer.

By the way... no one ever told me... was the heat control hard to turn on HVAC on the Lancers a Recall or TSB?

 

it is a common occurrence.

Do a search and you'll find the TSB

 

I have the TSB. But I was just wondering if it ever went into a Recall status. I know it gets fixed under warranty but with it being so common it should have been put into Recall.

 

hahaha sorry im new to the forum and all this lingo. i just registered on thursday. Yeah the knob was so hard to turn once it was @ 12 o clock position

 

TSB = Technical Service Bulletin. Bascially means when a manufacturer knows of a problem they publish a white page on it, and normally describe a resolution for the problem.

 

TSB you want to take a look at is:
05-55-003 A/C - Temperature Knob Hard to Turn
