Default A/C dashboard failure

started the car today, the dashboard that controls the air, heat and ventilation is BLANK! Zip. Also the outside air temp LCD is also out. It's a 97 sc4. I've done a few repairs in my day. Anyone have a clue about this?

The car still runs great, however no heat, defrost, a/c etc.

Ya, the stereo works too!

Apologize if this thread sucks, I'm not a huge searching dude, I did try a bit without results.

Wouldn't mind scooping up some GS 430 rims to slap on my ride too, do they fit? Any body selling an original set of 18"s?

Check CIG fuse. Is there any loose coins in lighter socket?
Blown CIG fuse will cause all of you symptoms

Default I have the exact same problem

my heater a/c, rear defroster, front defroster doesnt work.

My radio, my hazards, etc.... all work and even the back light on the heater and a/c display is lit but nothing is working. Help need help??????


So the cigarette lighter is the fuse to change or is it the fuse under the kick panel to check????


Feel so helpless with nothing working

I had a jumper/copper tag for a radar detector on one of the fuses in my fuse-box, that was causing the same thing.

OK, you all ROCK OUT!! The fused handled everything, back to just like new!! My mechanic thought it might be the amplifier which is like $700. WRONG! I LOVE YOU GUYS! And my car!
