Traverse climate control failure

Okay, I'm officially losing it. My 2020 Chevy Traverse with the gas engine is acting possessed! The climate control panel is totally dead. I'm getting an error code, the heat is blowing colder than a penguin's bum, and the AC won't even think about turning on. Any ideas before I torch the thing?

Summary of the thread

The 2020 Chevy Traverse experienced a complete failure of the climate control panel, with the heat blowing cold and the AC non-functional. The issue was likely due to a power delivery problem, possibly involving a faulty fuse or a loose electrical connection. After checking the fuses, the problem was traced to a loose connector in the wiring harness leading to the climate control module, which was fixed by a local shop.

Whoa, hold the matches! Sounds like a power delivery issue to the climate control module. The error code is key – can you pull that and share it? Low heat and no AC often point to a sensor failure, but a dead panel screams electrical. Start by checking the fuses related to the HVAC system. It's like checking the circuit breaker when the lights go out in a room.

Good call on the fuses, I'll check those first thing tomorrow. If it's not the fuses, what's the next most likely culprit? Is there a main power cable that's known to be dodgy on these?

If the fuses are good, then yes, focus on the wiring harness and connectors leading to the climate control module. A loose or corroded connector is a common gremlin. Think of it like a loose spark plug wire on an old engine – everything else can be perfect, but it won't run right. Given the symptoms and the error code, I'd wager a faulty connection is your issue. But honestly, with modern car electrics, chasing wires without the right tools can be a nightmare. If you're not comfortable with a multimeter, a shop might be the quickest route.

Appreciate the advice! Turns out, it was a loose connector just like you said. Took it to my local shop, they tightened it up, cleared the codes, and I'm back in business. Total cost: 95€ Thanks again!
