Climate stuck “off”

[Escott1622]

I was detailing my car and after that the climate control is stuck on “off” and no buttons seem to change anything, only thing I can think of is that liquid from the detailing spray made its way inside the buttons, any tips? I did just re do my dash and console in carbon but the ac never came out and while I was doing that I fixed the foam missing form the flaps and it worked then

I would give a try of just unplugging it and plugging it back in to see if that does it.

The unit is surprisingly easy to disassemble/reassemble. You probably got liquids plastic between the button as and contact points. I would pull the unit out, disassemble, and clean all contact points. I've done this a few times installing new lcd screens (and then reinstalling them right side up lol) so id be happy to help if you have any questions while doing it.

Rookie mistake... i popped the fuse for my windows when putting things back together, for some reason i didnt think it would be a fuse since its powered on, ill check on that.

[Escott1622]

Which fuse? I see E7 7.5 Air Conditioning System is this all?

[blue62]

Yes I believe E7 is the only fuse for the A/C ....heater system.

It appears it had started working randomly. Hoping it stays

If I do replace the unit is there an issue with years? I have a 2001 I found one from a 99 for dirt cheap

Mine went all crazy after a local car wash sprayed a bunch of cleaner/shiny stuff all over my center console a year ago. This after I told them not to spray anything on the interior...but after cleaning and drying overnight it was fine. Had to replace the LCD recently but I don't think it was related since the screen was 20 years old and probably due for replacement. Not too difficult or expensive.
