Recently, (but not often) I have problems with the console for the radio and heat/AC buttons. Basically the if the radio is on the heat or a/c is off, The a/c will just cut on and I won’t be able to turn it off.
Also the orange dotted button lights and the radio display will just go dark. The only way I can get things back to normal is to shut the car off, and cut the engine back on after 2 or three minutes. Any ideas or suggestions ?

Thanks

 

take it to the dealer while your still in your 4 year warrenty period

 

im pretty sure i know what it is. have you modified your stock radio in anyway/?? there is a ribbon cable towards the bottom of the radio, if you've swapped out your radio (or the dealer has) this cable can become loose. This is a possiblity, but otherwise take it to the dealer. Most likely that ribbon has become loosened

 

The radio is still stock but i know something with the CD player was replaced by the 1st owner because of a recall. I'll see if i have any warrenty but i think i'm up. It's an 03 brought in summer 2002. I'm sure it's something simple.

 

ya then most likely its that ribbon...its either loose or coming loose

 

I'm having the same problem with my 03 Sedan...? Sometimes when I start the car the AC is stuck in the on position and the temp controls, navigation, radio/CD, and gauge lights all don't work? (All the other center console lights and the heated seats still work though) Anyway, Its been happening for about a week and it usually fixes itself when I restart the car (and once it fixed itself when I kicked the panel under the steering wheel) but tonight I couldn't get it to work and I had to drive for an hour with no gauge lights and no radio...
I am assuming it is a fuse, relay or loose wire somewhere but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
