HVAC Control plastic dividers

[Anthony]

Our Rangers have HVAC controls that are common with other Ford vehicles....namely the Edge.

Ranger (not mine, found this on the internet):

Edge:

The biggest difference in that on the Ranger, the dividers between the buttons are black plastic and on the Edge they are chrome.

Now I don't know about you, but when I look down at all those buttons at night, I can't tell where one button starts and the next button ends. In my wife's Edge, the chrome separation really helps when trying to figure out where the actual button is that you are reaching for. Especially when I'm turning on the seat heater or adjusting the fan speed.

Plus it just looks cooler. It would also go nice with the chrome volume / tune knobs too.

I'm considering seeing if I can find a wrecked Edge on Ebay / Partsfinder and grab the HVAC controls to see if It is just a plug and play.

The search begins!

Well, that was fast. I ordered the entire center dash bezel from an Edge with all the buttons for $67 on Ebay . (including the <<Prev Play Next>>)

Looks a bit grungy, but hopefully it'll clean up nicely (and work!)

I'll let you know how it turns out.

It'd be really nice if they were lighted instead of black or chrome

I was really hoping that I could just buy a template that fits over the A/C controls with little chrome lines that would separate all the buttons/
Anyone done any research on the Edge or Explorer? Possibly, their this bling is already out there?

I almost never touch that area after it's been set to auto...72 degrees...only other time is in the morning for max defrost

I still have this sitting in my garage. I’m in no rush to pull apart my dash for as little as I use the controls.

I think I'm going to use this solution.

Control via the Sync 3 display? Crappy button problem solved.
