If the you've touched up the board and got a few things working but still can't get everything going it might be time to get another one.

You might try a bone yard (www dot car-part dot com) or ebay instead of the dealer to keep the cost down.

 

Yeah, that's what I figured I would have to do. Got a used one from the pick-and-pull and now everything works great.

 

Good to hear and THANK YOU for the follow up. Too many times we never know the end of the story

 

Glad to hear that a used unit resolved the problem. I had a similar problem a few years back (lights and AC coming on and going off, and eventually just staying off) with the climate control in my 99 Accord. The jumper fix worked for mine and it has been working since.

Having said that, it seems that the potentiometer that controls the temperature for mine has lately become fouled or faulty. Guess it's the pick and pull for me too since I doubt that there is a way to clean the contacts.
