Climate Control expenses >:^(

Hi, everyone,
Sigh.....
Ok, I just got the 60K service done on my '94 NSX (last week). In addition, they had to replace the oil pan/axle boots/some other stuff = $2700.
I also recently ordered an SOS HID kit and Taitec GT Lightweight Parallel-exit exhaust = $1700.
Now, after all those expenses, what happens? My 8 year old NSX climate control does not work properly (sometimes blows only cold, sometimes only hot), and the local NSX tech's diagnosis is a "blown chip," which means replacing the entire climate control unit: Illumination Assembly ($1000) and the Computer Assembly ($750) plus labor ($300) = $2000+
What causes a blown chip? Is it because the heater was seldom used (previous owner lived in Florida)? Or, was it one of those "I can't pinpoint the problem, so let's just replace the entire unit" kind of diagnosis?
Anyways, thanks in advance, and sorry about the venting!

sounds like the latter...but check the technical section and do a good search. I remember reading a few posts about peoples climate control problem and it sounded similar where the acura tech wanted to replace everything but the valve stems. I also remember that some people on here found an easier, and DIY way of fixing it for a fraction or half the cost...

wish I could be of more help...let me see if I can round up a post or two....

post nazi?
