Hi,
A couple of days ago I started having problems with the climate control in my 2006 Vectra 2.2 Elite which has now made my car practically unusuable with weather as bad as it is!
I started the car the other day and the climate control was working fine as usual. A couple of minutes later, all power to the control panel died, so the LED's went out, along with the temp info etc on my display panel. As a result I was left with no heater or heated screen etc. Five minutes later, the power came back on and everything was working fine again, then a couple of minutes after that the control panel power died again! I would say over the past 3 days the control panel has powered up and down at least 20 times in the short time I have been in the car.
I took the panel out and removed and reinserted the two multiplug connectors and they seem ok. I am ussuming the fuses are ok as I am getting intermittent power to the panel. I dont know if this helps anyone with a diagnosis, but since having this problem when I lock the car and set the alarm, about 30 seconds later the indicators start flashing and the alarm goes off! The only way I can stop it doing this is before I get out of the car I press the button on the dashboard which I think is for the interior movement sensor. Then when I lock the car and set the alarm it doesn't go off!!
Is there anything else I can do or check to get my Climate control working, or is it a costly trip to the dealer job?
Thanks
