After a little research I'm pretty sure the climate control panel has failed, and as I understand it all the control circuits are housed within this panel. There is an access panel directly below which easily pops off to exposes the module.
Next issue, has anyone pulled the module? I'm pretty sure it is held in by plastic clips but I can't find any diagrams or explanations as to how it's removed. Anybody know? Before I pry on something I shouldn't. BTW dealer prices for the panel run from$500. - $900. & $120/hr. shop labor rate Help Chas |

Now I know. You must pull off the center air grill, then pull the radio to access 2 screws attached to the climate control panel, then remove the panel below the climate control panel and pry the clips on either side to push the panel forward and out.
Or take it to a dealer and give them $900-$1000 to replace it. |

Looks like I've answered all my own questions. Got a replacement panel from LKQ auto recyclers for $110. Replaced it this am and all climate control systems are now working correctly.
Thanks for all the help? |
