Climate controls that do not respond, buttons that do nothing or a rear defroster that will not switch on can mean the module is failing, though wiring faults can produce similar symptoms. With the ignition off, look over the connectors for bent terminals, corrosion or a loose fit before you replace anything. If the module is the cause, this one replaces it.
