Flashing Temp reading on Climate Control after start up ?
I have a couple of electrical problems with this car that I have not tackled yet.
The first being the dash cuts in and out all gauges freeze except for the Speedo & Tach.
I am certain that this is caused by corroded contacts which should be no problem to fix.
The second problem is puzzling me. After I start the car or even before when I turn the key to the Ignition position, the climate control Temperature display starts flashing.
Is this normal ? What does this mean or what causes this ?
Is there a sensor or something that could be dirty or not working properly and it can't detect what the Temp is ?
Thanks in Advance,
Dutch

What kind of problem could cause this ?
Strangely enough around the time this started happening I started getting a weird key chime that lasts for close to a minute after turning the key to the on position or after starting the car. Its a fast chime similar to the one you get if you leave your head lights on. Is this related ?
Also the AC has a leak and has been unpluged before I got the car but the climate control has never done this before.
I am going to read the codes tomorrow and see if there are any new ones.
Thanks,

There'* also a Techinfo article for removing the cluster. Clean the contacts, and set/reseat them several times. 75% of the time, this will fix your gauge problem. Old car needs a little TLC, that'* all.
