Thank you so much!

When I started to look buying one such panel it is costing me 150-200 dollars. Can you help me know if panel can be repaired and if so please let me know any other alternatives available for me.

Hello, the AC button no longer lights up when I press it, however I do hear the compressor turn on but because the AC light isnt lighting on it will not allow the AC to actually start to cool. I checked all of the fuses both in the car and under the hood and they are fine. What can it be? Thanks

The compressor does not turn on because when we press the ac button it does not light up at all. None of the buttons light up.

Hi, My car's temperature control panel sometimes just shuts down. The fan still runs but only blows HOT air. The lights on the panel buttons, the air conditioning and the vent all become inoperable. This happens without rhyme or reason. Sometimes everything will come back on immediately if I shut off the temperature control panel (ie totally turn off the fan). Sometimes it takes a lot longer to come back on. Just took the car to the dealership where they "couldn't figure out the problem". They told me to hit under the glove compartment next time it happens I guess in an attempt to jiggle the blower fan. Just doesn't sound like great advice. Any other owners with this problem? Texas is about to get hot and I'd love to resolve the issue! Thanks, Ginine

I have the same problem; just posted a similar question. Unfortunately, I can't provide any answers. I can say that in conjunction with this issue, my 99 hond accord also wouldn't start for quite a few attempts, particularly after restarting after a short trip in a store, pumping gas, etc. Or when it's hot out. It seems electrical and perhaps has to do with fuses, but I can't be sure. I'm afraid to take it to the dealership because I've been scammed out of $700 with nothing repaired yet. I can't afford to hand over any more money without a fix, especially in our current economy. If anyone has had any similar issues and can help to resolve the problems, please post.

Thanks!

My a/c control panel has no power when turning on the a/c switch or the recirculation switch. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now is a solid no power problem. The blower switch works.
I have checked the fuses and all are ok. Is there a relay that controls power to the switch panel?
Thanks.

The ac dash controls don't seem to work. The blower comes on but no ac or lights. The dealer says I just need a new panel. He also says that the reason the car overheated is because of the ac dash controls failing. This seems very odd but I'm going to buy a used one and see if the ac and radiator fan start to work again. Did you find a fix?

ac panel goes out intermittedly. Blower speed works. Temp knob makes no diff. When not working all lights above buttons are not on.
