6.Reconnect climate control unit connectors A (12A) and B (16P).

7.Test the sunlight sensor.

Is the sunlight sensor OK?


YES - Check for loose wires or poor connections at climate control unit connectors A (12P) and B (16P) and at the sunlight sensor 2P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good  climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original  climate control unit.n
