Replacing EATC?
The EATC unit in my 1995 Sable is a soft-button model and the buttons are all cracked. I picked up a hard-button unit from a 1995 SHO. The dash on the SHO was already ripped out, so all I had to do was unbolt the unit, and I snipped the wires on the vehicle side.
I'm not quite sure, do the wires on the back simply unplug, and then I can plug in the wires from my car, or am I able to just replace the head unit part of the EATC? I've never replaced one of these before, and I don't want to mess up my car. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

There is a wiring harness that just unsnaps from the back of the unit. However, I don't think the 96 unit will mate to the 95 wiring. I know that 96/97 use a different wiring harness then the 98/99, but I am not familiar with the harness on the 95's.

Yup just unplug the wiring harnesses and you'll be in business. When you pull the unit out of the dash you'll see.
BTW it's rare to see/hear of a 95 with soft button. Wow. Must have been an early build.

BTW, is there any interest in a DIY for replacing an EATC in a G2? If so, i'll take some photos along the way.

I switched to a hard-button unit in my 91 LX. It was plug-and-play. No problems.
