On a solder bench, pull the unit apart and re-solder the board connections so you resolve the cold solder joints that is causing faulty connections/unit to flash.
That sounds simple but it looks like it has 3 connectors with 16 pins each and probably several PC boards. I'm still trying to determine if I have the technical ability just to remove the console and R & R the unit.

Although a C5, it will give you an idea of what you are looking for, and what needs to be re-soldered to solve the cold solder joint problems on the C6 unit.

Short version, you just want to go through and re-solder all the connects on the board, with takes only a few mins to touch off on all the connection joints one at a time.

You can replace the A/C control unit by removing the radio surround console. The same console has to be removed to replace the Nav screen.
There are many sources for the DIY, so I made one of them into a PDF
and attached it to this post.

Hope it helps.
thank you!
