Climate Control No Power/Dead

[drwindmill]

I started my 2003 X this afternoon and climate control screen was blank and nothing works. Fuse is okay. Is there anything else I can check? Thanks

That happened to my truck once, but i shut it off, and started it and its worked ever since. Is yours not working all the time?

there have been a few issues with the actual temp controller taking a dump, hard to say really without digging in

[drwindmill]

On another board I was told to cycle the headlights on and off. It worked immediately after i did it.

[SCUFFY828]

thats a new one on me , you think just the light dimmer in the controller had just gotten stuck

[drwindmill]

must be what happens, a relay sticking.

this is a fairly common problem on Excursions(maybe trucks too) that have the auto headlight feature and EATC..it doesn't happen often and the "cycle headlight switch" trick clears it every time..

i know back in the day someone had figured exactly why the relay gets hung up, but i've forgotten now..regardless, nothing is really broken and it's just a little quirk to have to deal with..

Happened to me too. Never happened since.

I've had the same issue intermittently. I've never heard the "cycle headlight switch" trick. I'll have to try it.
Thanks!

mine did it twice..1st time it came on 2 days later on it's own. the last time was last weekend and i thought if i turned the lights on maybe it would power up since there were no lights..and it has been working since.and i thought of it on my own..wow LOL not bad for a dumbazz lol
