for those of you who have obd2 cars with climate control, listen up!
recently my climate control has been acting all crazy, turns on by itself, turns off by itself, turns on and off really quick, the screen sometimes goes dim and none of the buttons work, it'll work for a few minutes then shut off, this sort of thing, well i took a look at the fuses to see if one of the ac ones was messed up, well the fuses looked fine, and then i took it to the shop, the mechanic took a look he said power was going to it but it was malfunctioning he said you'll have to order a new one for 400 bucks, and i said well could you install it, he says yeah but we have to take the whole dash out and it'll take 2 and a half hours, well this made me quite upset, money is really tight now and there's no way i could throw down this kind of money to fix it, sooooooo i used the interweb to do some research
and this is what i found

yes that's right with 50 cents and some patience you can fix it yourself
and that's what i did today
thought i'd share with the rest of you, the climate control is working perfectly now, i'll keep you guys updated if anything happens but looks good so far, DON'T LET THE DEALER RIP YOU OFF!!!
