Okay....thanks.
This van has two sensors....One in the front that takes care of both front occupants, and one in the rear...
I was just asking if the climate control system still takes input from the rear occupant sensor even if the climate control system for the REAR is off. (And the front is on)
I ask this, because it seems as though the Rear Climate control is the erratic one, as the fan for the back goes crazy upon starting the van. Even if I shut the rear off, the front still doesnt act normally. I find it unlikely that BOTH sensors would go bad, and hence why I ask this question....
I really appreciate you help. Thats an interesting point regarding the vinyl cleaner. I do use the armor all wipes, so its possible I nuked the front sensor. But---it still wouldnt explain why the back climate control (With its own sep. sensor) goes nuts. Ive never armor all'd back there :)
Can the chrysler scan tool extract what temperature the Infrared Sensor sees? I know with my 04 Acura TL, I can put the climate control in a diag mode, and it will display a whole bunch of info about the climate control without using a scan tool. (Including the in car temp, blend door temp etc....) Similar on how you can hold the Trip button on the T&C to get OBDII codes. (Really cool feature!!) Are there any special modes to get this info out without a cabable scan tool??
Thanks again for your input. I highly value it!
