Default HVAC Control

My **** control for the passenger temp adjustment is not working. Won't display a temp setting and won't adjust up or down. Any ideas for fixing?? Thanks

At what temperature is the driver's side set?

This is the way the dual-zone HVAC system works in a C5:

When the passenger side is set to the 12:00 (center) position, the driver and passenger side are both set to the temp selected by the driver's side, then the passenger can vary his/her side slightly up and down if desired. This is how it works, unless the driver is set to full up (90°F) or full down (60°F), then the passenger setting will have no effect.

The display will not change with the passenger adjustment.

Thanks for that info. At this time, I can't verify that was my situation, but maybe. I sent my controller off to Vettetronics this morning for the dim display fix and replace the leds. I figured for 70.00 it wasn't worth me screwing it up!

Amazing what you can find in the owners manual.
