Strange Cllimate Control behavior ?

LEDZEP · 03-27-2006, 06:54 AM

I've had this happen to me twice so far - I'm driving along on my commute and suddenly it feels quite warm in the car... so I say to myself "Led (I call myself Led), it is just me or is it hot in here?". Looking down at the climate control I see it has set itself to 83 degrees and is cranking out the heat big time.

This morning was the second time this has happened recently. I'm 99.9% sure that I didn't bump anything, and I know I didn't turn it up. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I think your first step would be to find a phsycologist to help. It could be your alternate personality changing the climate control settings.

Doesnt Led melt at a relatively low temperature ?

Or was that Lead ?

Used your wifes key ? Maybe its the key memory remebering a different temp ?

LEDZEP · 03-27-2006, 08:03 AM

Broken1 - I have a team of phycologists that attend to me regularly... so far their still scratching their heads. It could very well be an alternate personality... but which one!

Fleet - I had that fleeting (no pun intended) thought too, but I am using my own key (otherwise my face would be squished into the steering wheel). Also, the temp is my normal setting when I first turn the system on, but then after some time it is suddenly at 83 degrees.

Quite curious.

Broken1 · 03-27-2006, 08:38 AM

Do you use the "auto" function? *just a thought*

no1sportz · 03-27-2006, 08:42 AM

LOL...you are not losing your mind. Mine has actually done this twice during the first week of ownership. It hasn't done it lately. I thought the same thing; that I had accidentally hit something and turned it up. Kind of strange.

Weaselboy · 03-27-2006, 09:08 AM

Mine did this once right after I recently got the CIP 20 software upgrade. Never happened since.

ward · 03-27-2006, 09:13 AM

I hope you're not getting all menopausal on us!!

sounds like a strange problem indeed

LEDZEP · 03-27-2006, 10:49 AM

Yes, I'm using the Auto function. Quite bizzare...

Same has happened here. Only once and has not happened again.

Great...another quirk I get to experience.

ok...In your OP you said it set itself to 83? What did you set it to?

Was it hot or cold outside?

LEDZEP · 03-27-2006, 03:26 PM

I keep it at 69 on my side and 70 on the passenger side. The weird thing is that the passenger side setting didn't change either time. It was cold outside - about 37-39 degrees. I also turn off the A/C portion when the heat is on after it reaches temperature.

andylee97 · 03-27-2006, 03:38 PM

same thing happen to me before also. it happen three time within 30mins and never happened again??????????

findtom · 03-27-2006, 03:44 PM

Haha... not only do I talk to myself I often also laugh heartily at my own jokes.

Anyway, I've experienced the same thing a couple of times over the winter even though I haven't touched the temperature settings the whole season and I leave the fan on auto. I didn't really think anything of it at the time, but now that you mention it... it was a bit weird.

StewtheBassman · 03-27-2006, 04:00 PM

Sounds like a Subaru AC system, they're the worst.

LED, sounds like you got a problem. My AC is flawless (like me).

Just this time please don't start an "inflammatory" thread if it isn't fixed right away!

deutschmann59 · 03-27-2006, 04:11 PM

Hey Led Zep, the same thing's been happening to me for a while now...I know I posted this same exact thing a few weeks ago. Hold on while I look it up.

I'm taking in my car tomorrow and that's another thing I'm going to mention.

deutschmann59 · 03-27-2006, 04:11 PM

Here it is.

Hmmm... methinks there might be a problem with their program. Anyone experiencing this should let the dealer know. I'm not planning to make a panic run for service about it (unless it goes totally bonkers), but the more reports they have of the problem, the more likely they will come up with a fix.

Stew - inflamatory? I'm certain that I have no idea what you mean.

3some · 03-27-2006, 04:38 PM

It happened to me asswell over the weekend. I had the climate controll on 16 degrees both sides and all of a sudden I felt heat comming through the system and I mean heat, like 32 degrees all of a sudden.

WTF!!!

I thought I was dreaming but now I know there is some ghost in the machine some where.

What to do, seeing that there are quite a few members out there with this damn problem.

Ghunger · 03-27-2006, 05:35 PM

Ghosts imo...

deutschmann59 · 03-27-2006, 06:31 PM

Well, I'll be sure to let you guys know what the dealer tells me tomorrow.
