Climate Control Power and Ground Circuit Troubleshooting
- Check the No 16 (7 5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box
Is the fuse OK?
YES -Go to step 2
NO -Replace the fuse, and recheck If the fuse blows again, check for a short in the No 16 (7 5 A) fuse circuit
- Disconnect climate control unit connector A (28P)
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II)
- Measure the voltage between the climate control unit connector A (28P) No 9 terminal and body groundFig 1: Measuring Voltage Between Climate Control Unit Connector A (28P) No 9 Terminal And Body Ground

Is there battery voltage?
YES -Go to step 5
NO -Repair open in the wire between the No 16 (7 5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the climate control unit
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0)
- Disconnect climate control unit connector B (12P)
- Check for continuity between the climate control unit connector B (12P) No. 3 terminal and body groundFig 2: Checking Continuity Between Climate Control Unit Connector B (12P) No. 3 Terminal And Body Ground

Is there continuity?
YES -Check for loose wires or poor connections at climate control unit connector B (12P) If the connections are good, substitute a known-good climate control unit, and recheck
NO -Check for an open in the wire between the climate control unit and body ground If the wire is OK, check for poor ground at G401, with navigation (see AUDIO WIRE HARNESS (WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM) ), without navigation (see AUDIO WIRE HARNESS (WITHOUT NAVIGATION SYSTEM) )
