Hey everybody, I have a rather interesting issue with my wife's 2013 Rx 350. The thermostat on the driver's side is permanently stuck on high. It's not a lot of fun having 86 degree air blowing out in Tennessee in June! I tried going through the computer menu and also using the hard buttons in the console, but it just won't adjust. I disconnected the reconnected the battery, but when I turned it back on, I just saw the thermostat start at 82 degrees, then just climbed on its own to high. The passenger side works as normal. Surely this is just some sort of computer glitch?

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. The car and the wife are both steamed!

 

This could be a stuck or broken button.

When you press the heat up button, does it feel the same a the down button? Sometime dirt gets under the button and causes it to stay in.

If not, I would just unplug them and try the screen controls.

 

Thanks for your reply Non! I'll go check right now.

 

Success! Thank you Non, you are definitely the hero at my house today!
