Skoda Yeti climate control issues
Summary of the thread
The 2015 Skoda Yeti's climate control panel was unresponsive, with low heating output and non-engaging air conditioning. The likely cause was identified as a defective cable or plug connection. Suggestions included checking fuses, wiring harnesses, and electrical connectors for loose or corroded connections. The issue was resolved by cleaning and securing a corroded electrical connector in the wiring harness, restoring the HVAC system's functionality.

Thank you for your insights! Could you elaborate on which specific wiring harness and electrical connectors I should be focusing on? I am not very familiar with the system's layout, but I am willing to investigate further before taking it to a professional.

Indeed, after further investigation, the source of my issue was a faulty connection within the wiring harness. The mechanic specifically mentioned that the electrical connectors behind the climate control panel are prone to corrosion, which can lead to intermittent or complete failure. If you're not comfortable probing around the electrical components yourself, it might be best to take it to a trusted workshop for proper diagnosis and repair. It appears that a defective cable or plug connection is a plausible explanation.

Just letting you know the issue is resolved. The diagnostic indicated a fault in the wiring harness leading to the climate control panel, just like you said. The workshop identified a corroded electrical connector, cleaned it, and secured the connection. Now the HVAC system is working perfectly. Total cost was 95€ as estimated. Thanks for the advice!

I experienced a similar problem with my Yeti's HVAC system a while back. Although the symptoms might be different, the underlying cause could very well be the same. Have you checked the fuses related to the climate control system? Also, inspect the wiring harness and electrical connectors that connect to the climate control panel. A loose or corroded connector can disrupt the power supply and cause electronic faults.
