Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

FYI
On our new 02 996, the LCD in the climate control module. The dealer said that a new module was $1000 plus $200 for r/r. I found that a company called Module Master has a kit for $70 that replaces just the LCD. The kit comes with a new LCD, cotton gloves to use to protect the LCD, alcohol wipes to clean the contacts, and a thumb drive with the instructions.
I didn't time the install but total time was maybe 45 minutes, and the control now works like a champ.
The one from 914rubber.com is identical. Some of the others that are available are similar, but not identical.
Here's my thread on it:

I replaced mine using the Module Master kit in Feb 2013. I wouldn't say its "identical" but its VERY close and you do get all of the display icons. I also considered a complete control unit on eBay at the time for $300 (used). For the $60 one hour fix kit I decided to take the risk - No regrets at all.
Works great - no issue - recommended.
The module master kit works, but doesn't look OEM. (It has the Audi-style LCD Layout) I hated it.
The 914Rubber kit is different. It has one identical to the 996 OEM display layout. I replaced my module master display with the 914Rubber display...
Go with the 914Rubber.com kit.
I had both my climate control and now my speedometer started displaying a broken LCD. My car was left outside in 90F temps and both the climate control and the speedometer are now normal!!
Could this be fixed by using a hair dryer on the display??
The heat fixed mine,but not yet sure if it is permanent or will return this winter.
LCD's fail due to vibration and moisture. You may be able to dry out the LCD for awhile, but it's highly probably it will revert back when it experiences the same conditions that caused it to fail in the 1st place
