climate control knob issue 2004

I popped off my vent selecting climate control knob to see what was back there. (My lights out) now when I go to put it back it fits on loose. Is there a plastic part between the knob and the metal post? Something isn't right. I can't find a missing part. Anyone have any tips? I'm bummed. *sad face <_____

 

yeah theres like a metal shim that has fallen out.

 

Did you break the tab on the faceplate?
If so, head to a junkyard.
it's common of tabs breaking if you don't take them out right or carefully

 

Maybe I broke it? There is a metal post still in there (not in the knob ) but it wiggles left and right so I feel like somethings missing.

 

I carefully pulled off the temp one and I saw theclip but I may be missing a plastic price too. Ill check it out in the morning.

 

Yeah. Its missing.

 

F.
This is an old post that I am reserecting... but does anyone know where I can order the metal piece for the knob? I can't find any tocos at local junk yards. Its not like my old honda days.

 

rap sum tape around it.

 

Its basically this little piece of foil that sits in the end of the knob. Doubt you can buy it without having to buy the knob too. Same thing happened to me & this is what I did. Put a very small dab of super glue in the knob & put it back on. Stays on & easy to take back off if you need to.
