Thanks for the tip! No, I haven't checked the wiring harness yet. To be honest, I'm not really sure where to start looking for that. Is it easy to access the relevant wiring?

Okay, on the BMW, it was behind the center console, which meant dismantling part of the dashboard. Probably best to get a workshop to check the cable or plug connection of the component. They have the tools and know-how to diagnose electronic faults quickly.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I took it to a local garage, and you were spot on! The mechanic found a loose connector in the wiring to the climate control panel. They cleaned it, reconnected it, and it's all working perfectly again. Total cost was only 95€!

Sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my old BMW 3 Series – different car, I know. The symptoms were almost identical: climate control dead, error codes, and the heating was intermittent. Turned out to be a dodgy connection in the wiring harness. Have you checked the plugs and wiring going to the climate control unit?
