Default HELP!! - climate control suddently dead; and outside temp gauge shows blank

My climate control suddenly went dead, nor a/c or heat. If it's a fuse, which one is it, does it look like a regular fuse, or different. Also, my outside temp gauge shows blank, while other trip computer functions work fine... Any help or suggestions greatly appreiciated.

Thanks soooo much.. first time to this site, and I'm excited.

Its the kick panel fuse. I had the same problem with mine. Do you have a phone or radar detector "hard-wired" to your cars electrical. Check there

Replace the kick panel fuse that is responsible for the cigarette lighter. I am not sure which one it is off the top of my head. Just look at the diagram and then replace it. I had the same problem with my car. Saved me $600 from the dealership when i bought it, and i replaced the fuse at the dealer with one from the dealer right infront of them after I had signed all the paper work. They were so pissed. I was thrilled! Welcome to Club Lexus!
