Climate Control & Power Stearing Dead

[Chucky]

Please help.

Driving down the highway thismorning, first thing i notice my headlight alert (that i've left the headlights on when the car is off) was beeping - yes the parkers were on - After turning lights off the beep stops. Second thing my climate control panel had turned off, no fan no aircon and no lights on the panel - wont turn on after pressing buttons. Third when i was slowing down to turn my power stearing had stoped working. Got out of the car to check the belts and they are all fine.

Any idea's?

Have You Checked All The Fuses?

Have You Checked All The Fuses?

Its the next thing on my list to check, would it be the fuses in the boot or driver kick panel?

Found two blown fuses, replaced them with 15amp (Same) and no difference. Check fuses and they had blown again, replaced with 30amp everything worked fine until i noticed smoke coming from the fuse box area so i removed fuses. Short maybe? Any easy way to find problem?

Arghhhhh, car has been at my family workshop for a few days now and they cant find the problem, nor can i find a wiring diagram for the car.

Might have to take her to an auto electrician.

Can anyone suggest anything else to check? Is there any easy way to disconnect the climate control other than pulling the fuse?

Ok, just took apart the dash and unplugged the climate control, replaced fuse and power stearing working and no beeping from the headlights when the car is on. Turned car off and replaced plugs into climate control, started up and climate control came on, power stearing working, pushed the aircon button and blew the fuse right away + power stearing stopped working.

Whats is most likely going to be, a faulty climate control panel or a short in one of the wires?
