I searched I promise!

My climate control will not budge from 75 degrees. Everything else works fine. I can switch from outside to circulating air, adjust fan speed, select which vents, etc. But the temperature is stuck on 75 degrees. The temp. **** on the left (near the volume control) will not turn it on or off and when I rotate it to change the temp. nothing happens.

I'm going on a road trip to SoCal in a week and I need AC! Please if anyone has ANY ideas, I'm willing to try anything. My mechanic said a new CC computer could cost over a thousand in just parts.

I've tried checking my fuses both in the kick panel and under the hood, no luck.

I think you're boned, but try to reset the system by pulling the battery cable for a while.

Fiya

Thanks O.L.T. I'll try that tonight. I think my problem is with the **** communicating with the CC, but I don't know how to test it. Everything works but the functions that would be affected by that **** input. Is there a way to bypass it?

it'll stick at a certain temp if the **** is removed, but I don't recall what temp

Fiya

Well I was wrong about the temperature. It's stuck at 75 degrees not 73. Maybe this is the default temperature it falls on when it doesn't detect a ****. I'll search for a while and try to find it online. And call some dealers in the morning.

Can you turn the AC on and turn the fan speed really high and put it in circulating, if you can do that, then who cares about the temp setting. You can manually set what you need, right?

Update #2.

I had the battery disconnected overnight and still have the problem. I rechecked every single fuse a second time and I'm satisfied that the fuses are all perfect. I also removed the long plastic that wraps around the center console and disconnected the wires to the ****. When I start the car, it is still stuck on 75, so I'm becoming convinced it is the **** and not the computer.

SC4Hundred - I can turn the AC on and off and adjust speed and circulation but I can't adjust the temperature. It is on 75 degrees, so when I click the AC on it just comes out hotter. The **** does not communicate at all with the computer. Do you know of a way to adjust the temp. manually?

i know how to adjust the windows. roll down the window. i drive a conquest tsi with no ac. it has black leather seats, so if you can take the heat then you just get more performance out of your car.

Fiya

That might seem true, but doing 80 with your windows down creates a huge amount of drag. You burn less gas and will be much more aerodynamic in a car with AC on and windows rolled up. At low speeds you're right, but I'll be on a 700 mile roadtrip.

yep I think 75 is the set temp without the ****.

Fiya

Thank you, everyone that posted. OLT in particular because you actually gave me advice I bought a new **** and now everything is back to normal. So in case this gets searched in the future... If the Climate Control sticks at 75 degrees, then it is not getting any input from the ****.

Good to hear. When you first said 73 it threw me off.....lol. When you said 75 it was more clear.
