Climate Control Blinks then Dies

I am having same issue in my 99 Honda Accord. My AC is completely dead and Heater is blowing maximum settings Hot air. Fan **** is working but Climate control **** has no control over the Heater. No control unit's lights are functioning and no control over any of the buttons on the Unit(except the blower fan control ****)
The initial problem was exactly what is described here. Climate control unit used to blink , would make click-click kind of sound and then would go dead in 1-2 minutes. It would then work for the settings you had selected before it goes dead.
Now control unit blows hot air and pressing any button has no change.
I am wondering the wire soldering solution you have posted would work for my Car?
Please advise.
Thanks
Note: 1) I disassembled the unit, used contact cleaner to clean the circuit - No change.
2) I took my car to local body shop. They are asking me to replace Control Unit first. It means they are not very sure.

Be sure to follow the directions carefully and if the problem with yours is indeed the same the issue should resolve.

I just used the jumper wire fix yesterday and it worked! I suck at soldering so if I can do this, anyone can.

You stated above that you were not good at soldering so I have to ask, the problem you now describe, was it present at any point prior or is it new? It may be that some solder is close to another lead on the board causing mixed signals if other suggestions don't work.

You can easily do it yourself if I can. If you really want to replace the control panel, yes it will fix it but I wouldn't pay $300. The part is half that price and takes 15 min to install

I have a 1998 Honda Accord on which I replaced the control panel with a junkyard panel a few years ago. Recently the replacement panel failed too leaving the heater blowing full blast. While looking for a schematic I stumbled on this thread and tried soldering on the jumper. It worked perfectly. Thanks, guys!
