I'm trying to piece my interior back together, but I'm not sure what order those handy switches go into... and I think my GT has two AC knobs... (?)... Any photos of what it's supposed to look like would be GREATLY appreciated.

Nevermind, I found one!

I'm a little confused... you can run AC and Heater in tandem?

[Three Fat Tigers]

Tandem, as in at the same time? well of course you can, in most cars you can anyway.

You can arrange the switches anyway you want as long as the switch's harness connector will reach. Though moving the thermostat switch is a bit more difficult.
As in my '92:

a/c + heat = defroster in most cars

Three fat tigers -- that is an amazingly clean interior. What are you using the white buttons for?

Not so amazing if you consider the car had under 47k on it when I took that photo, 53k now. The first two buttons are for the GDO (garage door opener) and to switch off the subwoofer, the last two are additional switches just for convenience to control the PDL. They are back lit blue whenever the car is on, and dim when the headlights are on. All of the lights in the dash switches also dim when the headlights are on, that AC switch was way too bright at night. Two more white switches in the parking brake console control the front and rear dome lights.

There is also a row of LEDs above the headlight switch,

left to right: Cruise engaged, AC compressor engaged, GDO, front dome light, rear dome light. There are all kinds of other things too, among them are keyless entry, foot well lighting, micro switch added to the throttle to kill the AC at WOT, another in the shifter to kill the dome light delay if you move out of park, there are some tiny invisible black buttons on the steering column that kill the dome lights so you can leave the doors open (resets next time you close the door), one that keeps the low beams on when the highs are on, another that operates the cruise dump solenoid so I can slow down without having to tap the brakes (hate how Volvo reverse that control behavior in the '91+ cruise, so this compensates somewhat).

TFT, you have gotta be kidding me. You have to officially be the most anal retentive person on VS.

But could you post a link to a page detailing how you did all that.

[Three Fat Tigers]

Well I'd like to, but that's all stuff I did 11 years ago, I do have some documentation, but I doubt I could find time right now to find and post all that.

Perhaps you could just search and enjoy what he has posted already. As for anal retention please remember your posting as well for information
I personally think he has an incredible RWD database floatin' between his eyeballs!
I personally enjoy reading and following his posts. Wipes out the cobwebs for me!
