What HVAC controls are available for a Toyota Corolla?

Part of the evolution of the Toyota Corolla through the years has been the way in which you operate the climate control system. Older Corollas utilized sliding bars to change HVAC settings. After that came rotating dials, then knobs. Toyota Corollas then switched to buttons. While all options are effective at keeping you comfortable, these changes do mean that you need to carefully select the correct HVAC controls for your specific Toyota Corolla model. In addition, because these controls do change on a regular basis, there are not many generic aftermarket replacement controls available. However, there are a full host of new and second-hand original equipment manufacturer replacements to choose from for your Toyota.

How do you replace HVAC controls on a Toyota Corolla?

Although there are many components that make up the controls to your Toyota Corollas climate control system, the most visible is the unit in the cabin housing the knobs and buttons with which you select the temperature and air flow.

Given the differences in designs across different model years, the procedure for your Toyota Corolla vehicle may vary slightly, but not in any substantial way.

  • Disconnect the power to the controls and set them aside.
  • Install the new unit by reconnecting the electrical harness and checking for proper operation.
