What is your question?
I went on youtube to see if I could repair it myself but it shows a 3 knob panel. I have a 2 knob panel and it is all different and I have no idea as what to do . Can you help??????

Pull the knob off and see if you can tighten the bolt on the shaft that holds the selection know. That usually is all it takes.
This is actually a VERY common issue with earlier highlanders--so much so that there is an actual business that has you send your panels (circuit boards to them to fix)--look on ebay--it is $275 to do this last I looked---$700 for the dealer to fix it-- I fixed it myself by looking at the blogs and having a guy circle what needed to be resoldered-- You have to pull out the whole circuit board-- disconnect it and bring it to someone who solders-- the wire on the control knob is broken (VERY common) -- you can use telephone wire to fix it-- mine now works fine-- but it is a pain to take it all out-- but I did it and I am not very mechanical-- had the maint guy at work soldered it for me for free-- and it has worked for yrs ever since-- but this is a common issue with highlanders-- people think they are great but they are a vector for alot of issues!
I saw a video on youtube but my circuit board is different from the one shown on youtube. The 3 points that you soldered are different. My husband looked at them and they were touching each other. So he separated them and put it back and it worked, the heat and a/c are fine. You see my board is the same size but everything on it is much smaller and a lot more on it. I would love to see MY board on line to see how everything is supposed to be in case I have another problem. I don't know where to look.
I am uncertain how to attach a picture --but I have a picture of mine with the area circled still on file-- my board was pretty small-- I have an 02--I have no idea if they changed the design in 3 yrs -- but I congratulate you for taking the board out and getting it fixed--If I find the blog site I got my infor on --I 'll send the link.
I'd appreciate that very much. By the way all my husband did was straighten the points. All is fine. It is snowing really hard today and we went out and it worked fine. This might help someone else.
