No, I've actually already put a different ACC pushbutton box in there. The temp regulator box I'm talking about is the silver Bosch box back behind the glovebox. The other black box behind the glove box is the blower regulator box (already replaced it as well!) The resistor box under the hood also appears in good shape and is not shorted to ground.

After further investigation... the temp regulator box that went POP still appears to work in my other car. I did pull the box open though to see what happened inside. There are a series of large metal plates standing up across the back of the circuit board. Each plate comes from a small plastic covered block on the board. The black plastic covering that block popped off at one of the plates... but nothing else appears to be fried.

Anybody know what these plates are for?

I guess I got the power shut off to it quick enough!
