electronic auto temp control

having a hard time finding the electronic auto temp control for my 88 t-bird. mine works but really have to press the buttons to get a/c or heater to work. also wont stay where it was after turning off engine, have to reset. if these can be bought refurbished that would be ok as the controller has been discontinued from ford. if anyone knows anything on this would appreciate the info.

Mine is the same exact way and has been since I got it
If anybody has a fix for the reset though that would be awesome

You can do a self-test on the EATC.  The info is on the CoolCats website.  Here's the link:  http://www.coolcats.net/help/atc.html

EATC units have been popping up on Ebay quite a bit as of late.  Prices seem to range from $100-$150 USD. 

Links to a few of the sales/auctions:
