Default Need your help again guys!

While driving, the AC climate control unit just died on me. I've checked the fuses and those are good. Reading a couple forums, people were saying it could have something to do with the cig. lighter, but thats working. The outside temp gage on the cluster wont appear either. I have a 95, reading some forums these problems happened in the earlier models. Anyone have any issues like this themselves ? I'm hoping the unit didn't just die all together :

Is your climate control unit lighting up at all? like the backround light? Try pushing on the fuses in the kick panel fuse box and looking to see if the outside temp comes on. I had a problem similar in my 97 SC. One of the fuses on by the kick panel wasn't getting a good connection so it would cause the ac to not work sometimes. I ended up taking out the fuse that controls the ac and putting some foil on the pins and the problem never happened again. I made sure I didn't let the foil touch both pins.

Problem was fixed about 2 hrs ago. It was the fuse, but the weird thing about it was, there wasn't a fuse in that slot to begin with. It was the heater slot. I've had the car for all this time an now it acts up? Very weird !
