A/C Turns off while driving
Well I have an 01. Over 100K. Here is what happened.
One evening I got into my car started it and tried to turn on the A/C I turn the fan up and nothing. No lights at all. I shut off the car pulled the key started it agian and nothing still. So I pull out my handy Test Light. All Fuses OK. I try one last time. Tada everything works as if nothing happened. Worked all night.
Now today(a few weeks later) I was getting into my car for lunch and nothing. Same Problem. SO I On/Off it a few times. Finally while the car is on it pops back on. So I'm driving and off it goes. Whne I got back I parked it and right before I went to tuen off the car the A/C comes back on working fine.
Does anyone have an Idea? I hope!

So the blower motor doesn't work, not the A/C

Still sounds like a potentially bad fuse to me. I would replace related fuses to see if there is perhaps a broken connection that is just making contact MOST of the time.
Or maybe you have the British-designed S2K

Well it is definitely an electrical issue, does anyone have a wiring diagram that can check where the power source for this section of the console comes from? Either it will have a fuse that may be blown, or a wire might have been clipped somehow and is shorting out. Have you done any mods/work to your head unit lately? Or any other work that you would have touched electrical wires in the last 4 months or so? OR was your head unit after market or otherwise not the one that came with the car?

Anyone know where to find the FSM online?
