Default HVAC Not Working
Hi,

I noticed that my heat/cooling seat and steering wheel buttons are not working. When I pressed any of the hard push buttons, nothings happens. I will troubleshoot this during the week by checking the fuse box under the hood. I read that a reset of the HVAC system may also fix the issue. Any other things that I should consider?

on another note, I did have a handheld control for my air management ran into the armrest, so I wonder if the installer left something unplugged.

The simplest answer is usually the correct one.

If it worked fine before I would say there's your problem.

If the center console was pulled up, it is likely that the plug was simply not plugged back in. Easy 5 min fix.

I checked the fuses yesterday. None were blown so it maybe a plug. I’ll check this evening or over the weekend.

Had some time today to remove the center console. Indeed it was a connection left unplugged.
