• Q: How to Replace the A/C Switch for Temperature Control on 2006 Toyota Avalon?

  A: The first step to replace the temperature control switch assembly demands disconnecting the negative battery cable followed by waiting for 90 seconds to avoid Air Bag deployment. Start by taking off the instrument cluster finish panel garnish No.2 before proceeding to remove the instrument panel sub-assembly. The instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly center needs removal by unclipping 8 claws and 5 clips while disconnecting the connector and separating the assembly. Perform the temperature control switch assembly removal by releasing all four claws. A cable of the negative battery terminal must be reconnected before performing Front Power Seat Control System initialization. The system requires this step whenever the battery disconnects, when D/C CUT fuse replacement occurs or if power seat switches or power seat assemblies need removal. The power seat ECU requires an initialization process where the driver slides the seat forward completely while fully reclining the seatback as well as raising the seat cushion along with the headrest using the appropriate switches. Afterwards, move the seat to its full rear position while also reclining the seatback to its original position before lowering the seat cushion along with the seat frame to ensure it is securely latched into place. Verify that all seat adjustments operate correctly and confirm there is no interference with surrounding trim or components.
