Climate Control Panel Power and Ground Circuit Troubleshooting
Climate Control Panel Power and Ground Circuit Troubleshooting1. Check the No. 30 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
Is the fuse OK?
YES - Go to step2.
NO - Replace the fuse, and recheck.
2. Disconnect the climate control panel 5P connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
4. Measure the voltage between the No. 3 terminal of the climate control panel 5P connector and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 5.
NO - Repair an open in the wire between the No. 30 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the climate control panel.

Do the LEDs and LCD segments blink?
YES - Check for communication circuit DTCs (with rear climate control, (without rear climate control).
NO - Check for loose wires and poor connections at the climate control panel 5P connector. If connections are good, substitute a known-good climate control panel and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original climate control panel.
