Thanks. Extremely useful. Like most owners, the climate controls in my 1984 & 85 act erratic. I have a bag of spare TempRegular boxes and swapping usually doesn't help, or just changes the problems. I'll open one and try this. I assume one also has to change the leaky capacitors. What is the best way to remove the conformal coating? Any solvent which makes it easy? Heat?
