Ok before I go buying an entire unit, is there a fuse or relay I can check that would cause the entire CC panel to go dead. Not just a burnt out LED, as in not even rear defrost works, no lights or response to buttons...dead. I can't find any fuse that specifically says "Climate Control" and the radio works fine. Thoughts? Ideas?

If it helps it seems that the lights around my rear lic plate went out even though I KNOW the bulbs are good cuz I had them checked a couple days before with all my other tail lights.

 

This has been covered a BUNCH, but try and check your cigarette lighter plug and see if something has fallen down in there to cause it ground out and pop your fuse. I believe this would cause your CC to stop working also. Just a thought. Then recheck ALL of your fuses.

 

Sorry, I DID search and didn't find anything but burnt out LEDs.

Ok I did find a dime down in the cig lighter that probably got pushed down when someone tried to plug in a cel charger.

I checked all the fuses in the driver foot well as well as all fuses in the engine area and none look blown and none say anything like Climate or Cig lighter.

What fuse might be related to this?

 

thats exactly what happened to me, but with a penny. double check the cig fuse. if not i have an extra climate control for sale!

 

Check the CIG fuse. Use a test light or multimeter.
