Weird Climate Control Problem (1999.5 1.8Tqm)
So I've been dealing with this for a while, but it's really starting to **** me off and I think I need to try to figure out what's wrong again. Long story short, the Climate Control unit is basically possessed.
When I turn the car on, it will act normally (in auto mode) for anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. I never get longer than that before it starts going on the fritz. Basically what happens is the blower completely stops blowing. Then it will randomly turn back on (maybe for another minute, maybe for literally a second, giving me a tiny puff of air). During the times when the blower is off, the Climate Control unit is in one of two states. Either it thinks the blower is on and shows the fan speed to be non-zero. Or, the display shows it ramping up the fan speed and then letting it go to zero, ramping up, zero, ramping up, zero, over and over again. It's almost as if it's trying to turn the fan off and on but can't. Oh, and this happens with heat or A/C the same.
Has anyone ever seen this problem before?
