Skoda Scala Climate Control Problems

Alright so my 2021 Skoda Scala with a gasoline engine is giving me grief. The climate control panel is completely dead. The error memory has stored an error related to it. The heating output is practically non existent and the air conditioning refuses to switch on. I've done some digging, and the most likely cause seems to be a defective cable or plug connection. Mileage is at 208135 km. Any ideas?

Sounds like a familiar problem. I had similar HVAC system issues with my old Volvo a while back. Control panel was dead, and the heating was barely working. Did you check the electrical connectors? Electronic faults often come down to something simple like that.

Where exactly should I be looking for these electrical connectors? Is there a specific area related to the temperature sensor or the control panel itself?

In my case, it was a connector near the temperature sensor, which affected the whole HVAC system. I'd check those electrical connectors first before assuming the control panel itself is toast. But honestly, with electronic faults like this, a workshop with proper diagnostic tools is probably your best bet.

Just got back from the workshop. You nailed it. Turns out it was a faulty electrical connector on the temperature sensor for the HVAC system. They cleaned it up and now it's working perfectly. Cost me 95€ parts and labor. Thanks for the help!
