e36 automatic air conditioning controls
97' 328i sedan 50k miles
Recently the automatic air conditioning control system and blower fan have been giving me problems. For example, this morning when I turned the car on there was no power for the control system, I couldn't turn the heat on, the air-conditioning, defroster, change the temperature, adjust the fan speed; none of the buttons worked the fan wouldn't turn on, there was no air supply and the screen to the control system was blacked out, the whole system had no power. Five minutes later as I was driving to work the automatic air conditioning control system suddenly had power and the blower started pushing air through the vents. I ruled out a blown fuse and assumed it was some type of electrical short. The weird thing is after the whole system had power the automatic air conditioning control system would short out or lock out, and this time the fan would still be supplying air and the control system would lock out into some safe mode. The control system still had power but the led lights and the screen lights were dimmed and locked into the original temperature settings befor the short. I've driven long periods where the whole system worked fine, where the whole system had no power and also when the whole system was locked into the original temperature settings. ?? I guess my question is, first if any one understands my problem, second, if any one knows what my problem is or has any input on the matter, third, how could I gain access to the back of the automatic air conditioning control panel to see if there are any wires shorting out or crossing, fourth, if no one knows what the specific problem is what should I do to have it checked. Thanks for taking the time to read my problem, |
