climate controls
I too have a 93 SSE. I noticed someone mentioned you can swap the climate controls for the one out of a 95+ car. What items do you need to do this, as I am interested in doing this. And what is the process to go through once you have the parts. Thanks.
Am sick of Mr GM telling me where my air is going to go. Am agrown man and wanna make that choice for my self.

the security light is normal. go out and do this:
Remove keys from ignition, hit the LOCK button on the driver door. close door...keep window down, manually unlock the car with the door closed. (reach into door and do it that way)
make sure you have your door key handy to disable the alarm.
The flashing security light is normal. when you lock the car it should go solid for a period of time.

93 climate control is the last year you can pull your own diagnostic codes. This is a very handly feature, however over rated if you want control of the airflow. Most would agree the 92, 93 and 94 are basically identical in operation.
The security light when the vehicle is running is and a door is ajar is not normal. With the keys out, yes it should flash. Frequently we have found a bad hood pin sensor or trunk lid sensor to be the cause of the security light seeming to malfunction.
Let'* please think about how newer members will perceive what we pass on to them as veteran members.

The original post never mentioned that the security light was flashing while the car was running, perhaps he did and I'm going half blind. I read that the security light flashes when the door is open, this is NORMAL for a car equipped with an OEM security system. the assumtion is made if the doors open the keys are removed anyway...I remove my keys when I open the door, perhaps others dont.
No one has addressed the oil pressure problem yet..Have you hooked up a mechanical gauge to verify the low reading?

Here'* a link to instructions, AJ:

You will need the 95 ECC headunit and the HVAC programmer. It'* almost a completely innocuous swap. While you're rooting around under the dash, you might want to consider replacing the air mix actuator too. Just a thought.
Swapping the 93 for the 95 ECC was one of the best things I did on mine. Yes, you will lose the ability to retrieve diagnostic data from your ECC, but I think the trade is worth it. After swapping over, I'd drive around town switching where the heat came out, just because I could.
OK, we've got a couple threads in one here, and I won't say anymore about ECC swaps...let'* get back to naynay'* issues...

Correct Hans, we can not assume anything. Therefore we should elaborate our posts to include our assumptions, such as key on/in ignition/out of ignition etc.
PM me with what you think is confusing about the statement, this post is not the place for that discussion.
As for the mention of overly hot air on legs with cold temps outside, I suggest cleaning the temperature sensor that is located to the right of the dash mounted cigarette lighter behind the vented plastic. Compressed air for a computer or air pump does a good job without having to remove the plastic trim panel.

at the top it says check oil level sensor is on...is it that or is it the pressure sensor....or does 93 not have a level sensor like my 99 does?
