Please, nobody bother bitching to me about how this problem has been covered here before. I know it has, as I remember numerous threads on wacky Beamer climate control systems misbehaving, but rather than hunting down the best thread in the archive, I thought somebody could give me the quick answer, considering how common this problem is.
It's my climate control. Starting today, this is what it was doing: "Freezing" such that the motor speed and setting (as to where to vent the air) froze in one mode, totally ignoring my requesting other settings by pressing buttons, etc.; Switching itself on and off whenever it felt like it; sometimes apparently putting out cold AC air, sometimes heat, all without any input from me; sometimes going completely dormant, doing nothing at all. And sometimes the LED display would go dead as a doornail. In other words, the thing is going wacky, and I don't know much about electronic repair jobs. I've had that little resistor go bad previously which would cause the blower motor to completely become inop, but never this wacky shit. I was just in a dealership last week for a $1700 job that I paid them nothing for (cat. replacement) and the suspicious side of me wonders if someone may have tinkered with something to cause problems after I told them I didn't want any of their recommended work done (other than the cat. job). Any ideas, or am I gonna have to go searching the archives? Thanks to anyone for good feedback.
