Jaredsc 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2007 Hi, driving home tonight, just got out of work's carpark when suddenly the climate control display starts flickering also accompanying this, the noise like a vent trying to shut somewhere in the dash and each time it flickered you could hear the noise. Sort of like something opening/closing, then the thing went blank completely, was very worried at this point as no air was coming out of vents as well, so i turned the fan speed button right off to turn the unit off, then back on again and it worked! Anyone know whats goin on here? Note also I had rear demister on and couldnt turn it off while this happened, its orange light was still on though.

my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ My symptom was system display showing on but no air coming out of the vents. No flickering though. Followed this site's instruction and all ok after that. Edit: typo Edited August 16, 2007 by my_e36 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaredsc 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2007 Thanks for the link to that article, but I already had it fixed. I took it to a BMW mechanic in Wairau Rd North shore (where I live) and they replaced a resistor, cost $250 for 3 hours labour and the resistor.
