Cavalier automatic temperature control malfunction

Regarding my 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier with a gasoline engine, the automatic temperature control is no longer functional. An error is stored, and the air conditioning system doesn't initiate. Is a defective cable or plug connection the only likely possibility?

Hey there. Weird, I had similar climate issues with my old Renault Megane. Do you also hear some clicking noises near the dashboard when you try to turn on the AC?

I appreciate your response. Clicking noises near the dashboard? I haven't focused on it specifically, but I wouldn't rule it out. What was the resolution for your Megane?

Well, it ended up being a faulty interior temperature sensor. I tried looking for a loose connection but couldn't find anything obvious. Took it to a shop, they diagnosed it pretty quickly. Honestly, might be worth checking out before you spend too much time troubleshooting.

Acknowledged. Indeed, the cable or plug connection was defective as suspected. The sensor was replaced, and the repair amounted to 95€. Thank you for the confirmation; much appreciated.
