Insignia Climate Control Failure
Summary of the thread
A 2010 Vauxhall Insignia experienced a complete failure of the climate control panel, with no response or lights, and the heating system blowing cold air. The issue was suspected to be related to a power supply problem, possibly due to a defective cable or plug connection. It was recommended to have a professional diagnose and repair the issue, which was confirmed to be a faulty connector, resolved at a local shop for 95€.

Completely dead, no lights, no response to button presses, nothing. Where exactly should I be poking around for this cable or plug connection? Is it easy to get to, or am I looking at dismantling half the dashboard?

Yeah, if it's totally dead, I'd bet on the power supply. Honestly, it can be a pain to get to. While you might be able to trace the wires, it's probably best to just take it to a workshop. They should be able to diagnose it quickly and repair any damaged wiring. It will save you the headache.

I appreciate the advice. I bit the bullet and took it to a local shop, and you were spot on. Dodgy connector. 95€ and I've got climate control again. Thanks!

Sounds familiar. I had something similar happen in my Insignia. Have you checked the power supply to the control panel itself? Seems like a defective cable or plug connection could cause those exact symptoms. Is the panel completely unresponsive, or are there any signs of life at all?
