    I need a little help - digital climate control

    IT is hot as heck here in Texas, so I want to get this fixed soon.


    My digital climate control doesn't work at all. I know that it is getting power because when I turn on the headlights, the buttons light up. There is nothing on the display and no green indicators. Is there a fuse that I need to check?

    I went and bought a new capacitor, and getting ready to do the fix, however I wanted to make sure that was the problem.

    I dont know off the top of my head, but all the fuses are labeled on the inside of the fuse box lid. Also, if you have the fan control turned all the way down, it shuts off the display until you turn it back up some more.

    my one went crazy a few weeks back.. the capacitor trick fixed it. Mine was not "dead" but had random lights on and pressing the buttons didn't change anything.

    ok, I guess I will try the cap fix

    I have pressed the fan button 100 times and nothing happens. I usally come on "low" when I turn the key, but it doesn't now. I hope that the cap fix is all that I need.

    I'm having the same issue. Does anyone know that a capacitor re-solder or fix would fix this issue?

    Thanks
