I would say coincidence, by the time I got around to fixing the C to F problem all my backlights were burnt out. They do not seat very well and as I recall the connections are not very secure. If you search this forum you will get info on the replacement light part #'s. A little confused...

Time to restart this thread, it has been a long time since I posted about six years ago about my Canadian 4runner suddenly changing from C to F. I finally got around to fixing it today when I also replaced the burnt out lights as well, based on garr3ttric3's post. Thank you very much...

No update, I landscaped the entire yard this summer, and did not get a chance to pull the climate control unit out. The display is still stuck in F. As it snowed on the weekend it won't be until next year that I can be without interior heat. Sorry I can't provide any details on the fix. Mike

Update on my C to F problem, it was very hot in Edmonton over the past week and on the hottest day while driving to work I noticed the display had changed back to Celcius. Amazing. Then with the air conditioning on for a while I saw it change back to F. Over the next two days I saw it...

Another bit of information, even though the climate display is in F, the odometer is still in kilometers. Interesting if it is all done in the same chip. Seems like the 99's must be different.

I'll be looking forward to your response, it will be interesting to see if another dealer can fix the problem. I'm still reading in F. Mike

Must be a common thing with 99 LTD's just last month first one side went out then about two weeks later the other side's light went out as well. See my post about the outside F to C change, I'm also having problems with that too unfortunately. My Dad and I know a thing or two about...

Hi, Sorry for the delay in responding about the F to C problem. I have been dealing with my local dealer here in Edmonton, Alberta Canada and they have been quite helpful but unfortunately the problem is not solved. Initally the word was disconnecting the battery for an hour should reset...

Oh ya, It's a 1999 4runner limited

Hi, I'd like to kickoff this thread again as I have a very strange problem with my outside temperature display and auto climate control. After getting my windshield replaced the temperature and climate numbers changed from Celcius to Fahrenheit (I'm in Canada). According to the dealer they...
