Heater / Blower System will not turn on
This is the first real issue I've run into with my 2008 C6 -- got in the car this morning (A/C worked fine on Friday when I drove it last) and noticed that nothing on the heater / air condition / blower console will turn on. The CD player works fine, but it doesn't matter what button you push on the blower console, it will not turn on. The back light lights up when the head lights are on, but other than that it seems dead. Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, haven't heard of that before -- what is "re-indexing" the windows?
I think I found it. Thanks for the heads up, I will try this. Here is a link for anyone who is wondering what Indexing is:

Also Rick, do these "head units" die often? My car only has 13k miles on it and seems like it really shouldn't have anything going wrong with it yet.

Not "often" but it is fairly common, seemingly more in the '05-'07 years than later. That may be due to age, a general problem with the design/parts, etc, don't really know. I do know we've seen fewer '08's reporting it here and almost no '09's and later years. Again, maybe just an age thing or maybe they changed something in the '08 model year to make them last longer. If/when you do replace yours presumably you'll get the latest, and possibly a better, unit.

Well thanks for all the info Rick. I was driving home yesterday and the unit started working unexpectedly and is working today. I didn't even unplug the battery or anything yet. Will have to keep an eye on this.
