Auto-climate control problems

[Soopacharged]

My climate control, manual or automatic, does not function at all. The display will light up but that's it. Is it a big job to fix? Let me know. shrug

Double check all your fuses. Mine did that and a fuse fixed that problem.

Thanks, I hope it

A malfunctioning ETAC is often a sympthom of a failing alternator.

What does the alternator have to do with it? shrug

 

[SHOtimer]

If the alternator isn't putting out enough charge (failing), then the whole cars electrical system is running on a lower voltage. That in turn doesn't give the EATC enough voltage to run it, yet enough to make it light up...or act strange.

Thanks I'll have to check it out.

The symptoms manifested by the EATC due to a faulty electrical system are usually described as a flashing disply or the unit powers itself on/off.

Yours doesn't sound like that, but check the battery voltage anyway with the engine running to be certain.

I took mine to the dealer and got it done for free...but it is not a big job, it did happen to me, but try that...if you do not have a warranty, try replacing the fuses...
