We drove to WA over this Thanksgiving weekend to help our daughter settle into her new house. As we were leaving I noticed the climate control panel was blank and I had no way to turn the defroster on. When I pressed the climate button, the message check a/c connection was displayed in the screen. The trip ino screen had nothing in the values for milage, distance etc.

In a related but separate issue, the temp guage was reading and the gear indicator was not lit. When I stopped for fuel, the A/T temp and battery light came on. Other than these systems not working, the car ran fine.

As we made our way home, the A/T temp and battery lights turned off about 100 miles later. Occasionally the climate control/trip info would come back on, then off again. Same with the gear indicator and temperature guage. Always in the paring described.

On a subsequent fuel stop, the A/T temp and battery lights came back on but were reset when I turned the ignition off/on at the next stop.

Sorry for the long post. I'm not sure where to start tracking this down. I am grateful for any information or suggestions.

Thank you,

I know this post is really old but I'm wondering if you ever figured out this issue? I started to have similar problems with my LX (as I was leaving WA, no less) and I'm still looking for answers.

I never did find the cause. The issue stopped on the drive home to California. The only thing I can think of, is how the car was parked for 4 days on a hill with it raining the entire time. I guess maybe water got into something and was causing the issue. It has never happened again after that weekend. Best of luck in resolving your issue.
