Default Blinking climate control?

My climate control started blinking. It goes on/off constantly. Is this a fuse? Or the display failing? Any info is appreciated...

Unfortunately the unit is dying and needs to be replaced. I used to have an 2008 that this happened to years ago. I bought a replacement from GM, part number 19371370. Looks like the part has since been discontinued... Maybe try ebay or a junkyard.

Yea, it sucks. 19371370 replaced 15858813. So 19371370 will definitely work on a '13, if you can find one... 15858813 was on the earlier C6s, I don't see why it wouldn't work, not sure though. Good luck!

Mine did that years ago and I did nothing but put up with it for a couple of days. It eventually stopped blinking and has not done it again since. I often disconnected the battery back then and perhaps that helped. I was told at the time it had to do with the connections that either jar loose or become corroded...something like that. Anyway, unless it becomes a safety issue, I would wait and see if goes away.

Its working correctly again.. I realized I allowed the car to sit with the sun directly on the dash and no roof. I think it was freaking out from the heat.

I had the same thing happen about a month ago while enjoying lunch at a local burger joint. Has worked fine ever since once it cooled down.

Glad it's working! Mine kept blinking regardless of ambient temperature and the buttons wouldn't do anything.
