09 Optima Environmental controls not working Sign In

When I got into my car this morning, I found that most of the environmental controls on my car are not working. The fan speed dial works, but it seems that I can't change the temperature. Likewise, the AC button light will not turn on, and it won't actually turn the AC on. Also, the two buttons to switch between recirculate and outside air don't respond or light up. And the button for rear defrost has the same problem as the AC button. No light and no function. Any information, or assistance anyone could pass my way would be very useful. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!

There is no remote starter. And there is no check engine light on. Someone else suggested testing the fuses. Which I plan on doing when I get home. Someone else had also said that it might be a faulty control head. But I am willing to try anything, if I can fix this myself.

Suggest you test fuses with a test light - cheap thing, when items should be enabled it would light both side.


Of interest that seems rear window defroster also on same fuse or at the same time? It a hatch window especially see if you find a blown fuse if that has been damaged. Remember almost all RWDs are like a decal ON the glass not inside near impossible to fix well,
