Skoda Superb climate control issues
Summary of the thread
A 2012 Skoda Superb owner is experiencing significant climate control issues, with a non-functional control panel, poor heating, and non-responsive air conditioning. The problem is suspected to be due to a defective cable or plug connection. Suggestions include checking the power supply to the climate control panel and inspecting the wiring harness for loose connections. Ultimately, a workshop visit confirms a faulty connector in the wiring harness, which is cleaned and re-seated, resolving the issue.

Thanks for the quick reply! When you say 'power supply to the climate control panel', are you referring to the main fuse box, or is there a separate fuse or relay specifically for the climate control? And when you mention the wiring harness, did you remove the control panel to access the wires, or were you able to reach them from underneath?

Yes, I am talking about a fuse allocated just to the climate control - check your manual. Regarding the wiring harness, I did remove the control panel to get a better look. It's a bit like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, but you should be able to gently pry it out with some plastic trim tools. Honestly, if you're not comfortable doing that, it might be worth taking it to a workshop. They can diagnose it properly and avoid you potentially causing more damage.

Took your advice and went to a workshop. Turns out it was indeed a dodgy connector in the wiring harness for the climate control! They cleaned it up, re-seated it, and all's good now. Total cost 95€. Thanks a bunch for the insight!

I had a similar issue with my Superb, although I can't recall the exact error code. The symptoms you describe sound very familiar. Have you checked the power supply to the climate control panel itself? Also, have you tried wiggling the wiring harness behind the panel? Sometimes a loose connection can cause intermittent problems like this.
