Dual Climate Controller Issues
So a couple weeks ago I resoldered my Dual Climate Controller to fix the dim light issue. Everything was working fine for a while but now the controller is randomly doing its own thing. It will go from off to everything on full blast and set at 90. Then it will shut its self off. Anyone else seen anything like this? Is the controller shot?

Thanks but I've already rechecked what I soldered. Ive tried leaving the battery unhooked overnight and also pulling the unit out and cleaning the pins and reinstalling it. Any other ideas? Anyone else have this problem?

Did you use a 25w iron or a soldering gun? I'll assume 60/40 solder used, correct? If too much heat was applied (using a gun) you could have damaged one of the surface mount components.
