How to fix your Berlinetta AC/Wiper Control Pod.
I originally posted in a thread (here) showing what it took to repair one of the Berlinetta control pods on here to help people fix their own. I wasn’t aware that this might be something more people might be interested in learning how to do.


It’s as simple as de-soldering one of the foil legs and adding a little solder to the center pad. Then re-solder the foil button and test for proper function, and that the two are making contact when depressed.

It would be optimal to locate a replacement contact pad to replace it with, however this works just as well. If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM.

Re: How to fix your Berlinetta AC/Wiper Control Pod For Free!
Thank you, but I don't need any luck. It's worked great all summer in my daily driver and I don't anticipate any issues in the future. If it shows any signs of deterioration I'll look into alternative solutions.
