12 13 Kia Sorento 3.5L Dual Auto Climate Heater Temperature Control 97250-1U560

Product Details

Description

This is a genuine OEM Kia Center Dashboard Dual Automatic Climate Control Switch Panel Unit removed from a running 2013 Kia Sorento EX 3.5L V6. Finished in its factory-original matte black finish and carrying exact OEM part number 97250-1U560, this interior HVAC control module is an ideal direct physical, mechanical, and electronic drop-in replacement to instantly resolve common center stack failures including dim or dead digital LCD screens, non-responsive rotary temperature knobs, sticky mode buttons, erratic blower fan speed control, non-engaging A/C compressor buttons, or failed hazard light switches.

As an authentic factory-original component, this climate control panel features precisely mapped mounting bracket screw tabs and clean multi-pin electrical harness connector docks designed to sit completely flush inside your center dashboard trim. Opting for a genuine Kia OEM control module ensures exact electrical resistance matching for proper blend door actuator movement and ambient temperature sensor feedback. Every rotary dial action, digital screen display line, push-button switch, and night backlighting circuit on this unit has been fully bench-tested and operates flawlessly.

Vehicle Compatibility

Please precisely verify your original module's part number sticker and button layout before purchasing. This climate control switch fits dual-zone automatic climate setups:

• Application Warning: This module is configured strictly for 2012–2013 XM-chassis Kia Sorento models equipped with Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Controls matching part number 97250-1U560. It will NOT replace 2011 pre-facelift models or 2014–2015 updated models due to different wiring harness plugs, display screens, and center stack bezels. It will NOT replace manual 3-dial climate control panels.

Important Installation Information

Carefully unclip the surrounding center dash trim bezel using a soft plastic pry wedge tool. Unbolt the retaining screws securing the climate control assembly, pull the unit forward, disconnect the rear multi-pin electrical harness plugs, swap the controller over, reconnect all lines, re-tighten the mounting screws, and press the dash trim panel back into place.
