AC doesnt work...
this car hates me I think I been fixing things on it non stop for the last 6 months. Runs great then something else breaks.
Anyways Ac was working GREAT, I dont use it often, actually I never really use it except when I drive on day (not often.)
And I notice while I glance that none of the ac displays are on, no modes, (which should be on even when ac is off.) This startles me, I start pushing buttons noting. Wth can do this? I mean it was working perfect not to long ago?!?! When is this car going stop giving me grief?!
Does ac system have a fuse? of its own?
I recently did the timing belt change (which i might have to redo.... timing might be to advanced? pulls a lot harder then before though..)
I mean just the bar lights up, no indicators of any kind like its dead! It was working awesome las time I used it! wthell?
I remember when this car was in awesome shape, then a ****ing MORON in a sunfire had to run a red light, ever since then, cars drives the same (actually its a little peppier now.), but reliability has gone to hell. Thanks for ruining my car Jared wherever the heck you are!
I mean just yesterday I had to fix a short I had with the blinking light and brake light.... every other day is a new thing...

Just shooting arrows into the air here, but is your radio on the fritz too? Meaning problems with the volume control ****. I only say this because my the solenoid/control unit/whatever that controls the radio also controls the **** for climate control. Mine went and I suffered a somewhat similiar problem. Replacing that unit solved it. But before buying one, make sure that is what's gone. New unit from Lexus runs roughly $240.00. Luckily my neighbor is a Toyota delaer parts manager and I was able to get it for cost!

My radio cd player works awesome. (Knock on wood.)
Its just the ac, all the lights light up except the display modes and off course the no AC. Is there any particular fuses to look at?

The small green one on the AC button?
No it doesnt... There is no coin on the cig lighter my cell charger (now useless cause phone is broken.) Is there instead. I took it off and tried again no difference.
Its so weird since It does light up.. (well I cant tell now in day.) But no icons...

my SC400 has the same exact problem....i haven't messed with it yet because my 300's ac works great and i have been enjoying th 5spd. I think it's a fuse because as he said, the backlight goes on but no icons come on and the buttons do not work at all.

Which is weird, because some how very recently that fuse went missing.... but how? Did the fuse fairy come in and take my fuse out? No really that is seriously strange!
I also notice that... my Traction control fuse is gone too. Which would explain the.. power slide on my way to work today... although I do have all season tires. That is seriously strange..

No one messed with the thing, when I opened the fuse box it was completely gone, no where in sight? I thought it was an empty space initially! Till I looked at the diagriam then saw that someone elses cig fuse was broken!
Where did the fuse go?
