Not sure if this is the right place for this. I am new so forgive me. My 2017 Jeep Patriot has AC as most of them do my questions is If I change the standard AC controls with the Automatic climate controls will that work with the system that is installed I looked at the plugins on the back for both controls for the wire plugs and they are the same. correct me if i am wrong. Thank for any info.
You need more than just the controls. You will also need the map light assembly with integrated temperature sensor and the wiring to connect them. I added that to mine a few years ago. Check out this thread: Upgrading to Automatic climate control
