Q: Heating doesn't work and the face plate unresponsive
My car does not heat, which is a big issue when the weather is cold. Nothing works and there is no heat from the AC. The face plate, which controls the heat outlet, doesn't function at all. It is unresponsive. I replaced the body control module as well as the heater box but it hasn't helped. I haven't found any wires that are worn or loose. Do you have any suggestions how I can fix this?
