Camry :: 2008 - Climate Control Reset When Car Started
Sep 13, 2015
The automatic climate control of my 2008 Camry is on the blink. When I start the car, the "front defrost" light blinks and I cannot control the climate control. Is it resetting? Or is it downloading something from the central processor? After it stops blinking, I can turn the climate control on "Auto" but it goes to 75 degrees not the temperature it was at when I shut the car off (is this the factory setting?). I can change temperature and modes just fine from that point.
When I turn the car off for a few minutes and then back on the climate control works normal. It retains the temperature I set before I turned the car off and starts up like normal. But if the car is off for an extended period, the climate control goes through its "reset" routine before I can set it. How does the climate control retain the previous setting while the car is off? Is it connected to the main battery or does it have its own that needs to be replaced? Is there some logic that tells a controller to take the climate control off the circuit after being off for an extended period?

I own a 2007 Camry LE and one bulb behind the temperature dial is burned out. It is the bulb for the indicator on the outside edge of the dial. I am curious how to remove the panel and rotary dial to access and replace the bulb. I've searched the forums but cannot find a description with pictures (hope I didn't miss it somewhere).

How easy is this to do? I'm thinking about doing this to my 2003 Camry LE...

My '05 XLE has a small problem (I think). Had the car for just over a year and yesterday noticed that when I choose the defrost mode there is no indicator on the control panel to show it's in that mode. All the other function positions have indicator icons to show what mode is selected.
I don't use the defrost only mode very often and now wonder if it never worked since I've owned it or if there isn't an indicator for defrost mode. Isn't there an indicator for that mode?

I just bought a 2014.5 Camry SE. I am really loving this car but I have a question. The black shiny climate control panel (manual climate control) seems a little cloudy. I was wondering if this has a protective film from the factory that needs to be peeled off. I cannot tell by looking at it, and don't want to mess with it until I know.

My wife's 08 mountaineers heater has stopped working on every setting but high it has the dual climate control with rear heat and ac I've heard there's a control module behind the glove box. Is this true and how hard is it to replace?

I have a 2011 Camry. The last few weeks, I've had an intermittent issue with the AC not initializing properly on engine startup and I get no AC. The AC light will be on, the blower works normally, but changing the AC/heat blend dial has no effect, I get full heat no matter what the setting.
The only way to make the AC come back on is turn the car off and restart. On ignition, instead of the climate control cluster lights and the blower coming on immediately, the rear defrost light will blink amber for about 10 seconds before the climate control system initializes and usually, the AC will come on at that point.
I had it into the shop and they could not figure out what was going on. No computer codes. They finally said the compressor current was spiking over spec and replaced it. However, two days later and it's happening again, worse than ever in that it took like six restarts for the system to initialize properly this morning after I pulled over because I was getting roasted.

I have a 2008 LS360L with 4-zone climate control. For whatever reason, the rear seat controls and display do not work for climate control. The controls still work for radio, rear seat adjustment and window shades, but climate functions are unoperable.
Additionally, the 4-zone buttons on the nav touchscreen are now missing in the climate menu. There used to be left / right passenger settings and then a button to switch to rear seat settings. These options have all disappeared from the menu.
I can press the 4-zone physical button on dash and manually change temperature settings for driver or passenger by pressing physical driver / passenger temperature up / down buttons.
The only thing I can attribute to this is I had the dealer do a map upgrade to the nav system. All other features / functions work, but the timing is somewhat suspect... They really do not believe this upgrade caused the problem.
Are there hidden menus I may have hit to deactivate this feature?

Just purchased a 2008 F250 V10 Crew Cab with 64,000 miles. The truck has some electrical issues that didnt show up during the test drive/inspection. It seems that the HVAC head unit causes some interesting things to happen. The most obivous problem is that when you turn the climate control on and turn the fan speed up the CC will not work. If you turn the fan off but leave the HVAC control on CC starts working. At this point you can turn the fan speed back up and everything stays working. Not sure if its related but it also has the printer noise going on behind the dash which Ive read is the one of the blend door actuators going bad and the keyless entry pad will not accept a personal code(everything else works on it, factory code, lights up, two button lock). Any checks?

My 2005 V8 Touareg has developed a squeal from the fan motor. I've searched but not found anything else on the forums. When you turn the fan on, you hear the squeal. Turn fan off, it goes away. Change fan speed, squeal changes.
I'm out of warranty now, so I'm hoping to fix this myself...I suspect it *might* be a simple solution like lubricating the motor axle. How to get to the AC fan motor? Is this easy to find in a service manual?

Having issue with the climate control servos just going crazy when the AC is on? I can hear them moving back and forth constantly and the flaps make a popping popcorn sound.

I just have a quick question.. I have a 2004 v8, and every time I start my car the climate control comes on, I tried to put in auto and manual. How do you turn it off, so it will only come on when you want it to...not during every start up?

Recently my Climate Control System on Gen 3 has been misbehaving. A few weeks ago, I could not get cold air out of the AC, and then just as quickly as it stopped working, it started working again. Then yesterday, I started noticing coolant temps on the Scan Gauge rising to 215 - 220 F, which seemed quite a bit higher than the 195 limit I had set for operating with grill blocking, so I turned on the Heater and brought it down to 195, and when I got home, I checked and the coolant level seems OK, and it was under pressure.

Last November I had a left front end collision with another car. The other driver was at fault and their insurance covered everything. The car was in the shop almost 2 months.
Now it seems back to normal except the climate control randomly shuts off every so often. I usually leave it on Auto. After the car has been off overnight or sometimes just a few hours, I notice the climate control is off. After turning it back on, the temperature setting has been reset to 75. It happens about once a week. Doesn't seem to be related to outside temperatures.
Should I take it to the dealer for a check or back to the body shop? The body shop offers a lifetime warranty, but I doubt they could diagnose something intermittent like this.

I need to remove the automatic climate control module on my Touareg 2004, but I can't seem to get it to release. I have removed the radio and the metal frame to which it attaches. I have also disconnected all the electrical connectors from the climate control unit. Still no luck. The climate control unit doesn't move up, and when I try to pull it towards me it appears to be locked by something as it only comes out a tiny little bit.

I've had my prius for about 8 months now and to be honest, I'm not 100% sure how the climate control works. I just realized that one of the buttons I've been pressing is an air pollen filter. I've also recirculated the air and managed the fan speed with the up/down.

Do the climate control can be turned off completely? I understand that "econ" shuts down the compressor, fans, etc... but can you make the whole thing go "dark"? If so, how can this be done?

Have any control over the fan speed? The temperature? How does it work?

I have a 2010 Prius and I leave the climate control on. When I start the car the AC will only work sometimes. I can run errands, where I make 5 stops shutting the engine off each time. It will be hotter then heck in the cabin and after starting the car the ac won't blow air out the vents. Sometimes I can shut the car off and restart it and then the AC will turn on. When it actually blows air, it's nice and cold. If the car is on and the AC won't work, I will turn down the climate control to the coldest setting and it still won't come on. But the next time I start the car the AC might work fine. To me, it seems like a relay or something electrical isn't turning the ac on when the car is turned on. Or maybe the blower motor is getting stuck.
