Changed my battery today, everything works except for the A/C/heating/air. Nothing happens when I press the power/on button and the buttons on the display won’t even light up like they usually do while the car is on. I’ve tried googling to find a solution but so far haven’t found anything.

Hi,

The first things to check are the fuses. First, I attached the entire wiring schematic below for the HVAC system. Check the fuses related. Also, when you check the fuses, also confirm there is power to them. Fuses 85 and 71 in the interior fuse box under the left side of the dash.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

The last pic shows the fuse locations in the box.

Let me know what you find of if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
