Title: Flashing '03' code on the Air con ?!?
Post by 750-T on Nov 14^th, 2005, 6:22pm

Hi,
My Climate control only has decided to only work when it feels like it !
(Coupled with the fact that the heated front screen doesn't work, you can see that I've now got to have a sponge at hand to wipe the screen. Just like the old days eh!)
Anyway, the Climate control is displaying the flashing 03 code, so I went to the section on this website that discusses this particular problem.
It states that the 'Air conditioning module' (Finis code 1 017 462) could be faulty.
However, when I carried on looking at the photo's the only description I could see mentioned the 'heater/blower control module'.
Excuse my ignorance but is this the same thing?
If so, how does it fix?
Has anyone got any tips to aid fitting another one or is it straight forward?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
John

hi there

it's #11 in this diagram. to change it, follow the instructions for changing dash bulbs.

Thanks for that scorpio_man.
I can only see the rear view in the diagram.
Am I right in thinking that the 'Automatic Temperature Control Module' is basically the unit that sits in the dash with the controls on?
Do you think it's worth taking the easy option of just changing the 'Outside temperature sensor' first, or simply reprogramming the unit in the (slim) hope that it cures it?
(I am grasping at straws!)

hi there

no, the diagram shows you the module 'inside' the dash. the dials and display unit are on the 'outside' (2 bits)

try the reset first and see how you go.
