Another HVAC issue thread
The HVAC unit in the car I recently bought ('92 SC400) appeared dead (no display, controls didn't work). I got another one.
Today I tried installing it and, of course, it doesn't work. After checking fuses I noticed that it may be possible an important connection isn't being made to the rotary switch labeled "TEMP AUTO". I'm not sure though because it's difficult to determine if the place that looks like it could be a connection truly is.
My question is, how many connections should be made to this unit that has the dual rotary *****, one as labeled above and the other that controls power and volume to the sound system?
This first image is of the controls.
This next image shows the back of the controls. The concern is whether a connection needs to be made on the upper (black) part of this unit. Even close study of it is inconclusive.
This image shows three lines directed toward this part of the unit. One of which connects to the rotary unit in question, another for the hazards and the third appears to be a dead-end.
This last image is a rotten pic of the dead-end line.

When I was taking apart my console (mine is 99) there were only two connectors. One going to those volume/climate ***** and another to hazard switch. There was no third one. Are you sure you didn't pull that from cigarette lighter?
Btw, climate unit WILL work and turn on even if those ***** are disconnected. Make sure that all three connectors are connected tightly at the back on climate unit.
