Default Help with a problem please?

I figured this was a fuse issue but all the fuses under the hood look ok.

My buttons for all climate control stopped working along with my cig lighter.

They still have light behind them but do not operate at all..


Are there seperate fuses I dont know about for the interior climate/cig lighter?


Hazards still work, heated seats still work, ect and all that..


Need it fixed asap.


Thanks!

marcuse, I had the same problem about two weeks ago...pull out your center console and check the harness in the back, they some times get loose...this was part of my problem. Search thread has the how to: center console. And for future reference, invest in some of those fuses that light up when they blow-this will elimate having to do "guess work". good luck, keep us informed.

Climate control and cig lighter work together. If the cig lighter fuse is blown, your climate control will not work. The fuse is in the fusebox at the driver side kick panel. There are a few threads that discuss this issue.
