Default Climate Control Not Starting

I'm having an odd problem with my climate control. About a week ago it stopped starting when I turn the car on. The AUTO led will be lit but none of the buttons work. If I shut the car off and turn it back on, I'm able to get the climate control working again but the settings, in terms of fan speed and temperature get reset to 75 degrees. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but around the same time, I had my windshield replaced.

I strongly suspect that replacing the windshield had something to do with the climate control no longer working. I'm guessing the windshield was not replaced by Lexus...

Interesting... I have another problem with climate control, in cold weather it's not heating up while idling or going slow rmps. Windshield was replaced by third party with OEM one.

Got me thinking, I wonder if it has to do anything with climate / humidity sensor on windshield.

had the same exact problem, but mine just started acting up one day. took it to the dealer and he said they had to re flash the climate control ECU. It's been fine ever since.
