Is the ECC on the dash easily replaceable?

Has anyone replaced their ECC (Electronic Climate Control) unit? Is it a modular unit -- just pull it out, unplug a wire or two at the back, and plug in the new one?

Everything is working fine but I noticed the two blinking orange lights on the ECC. So I am just trying to plan ahead.

TIA

    Thank you all. I will just observe it for now and have it probably checked (codes) at the next oil change. Right now it is still blowing cold air.

    Could possibly be the cabin Temperature sensor - check codes if you can.

    Before you spend a lot of money, have a dealer pull the codes for the ECC. The temp sensor is in the dash next to the radio, with a little grill on it. You will need to pull the radio and the ECC to get behind the sensor and push it out so that you can clean the dust and dirt off. Some folks have had luck using a vacuum cleaner nozzel to suck the dirt out while it is still in the dash.
    The ECC is a complete unit.

    Blinking lites often mean that the internal temp sensors are broken. In the 850, they are in the roof by the door openings. They are a wire coil and a fan. The wire in the coil will break at one terminal. Unwind a little wire and re-solder, they work fine again. Cured my flashing lites.
