XC40 Climate Control Failure

Climate control on my 2019 Volvo XC40 hybrid isn't working. The panel is dead, there's an error code, weak heat, and no AC. I've checked fuses. Big problem or minor electrical fault?

Summary of the thread

The climate control system in a 2019 Volvo XC40 hybrid is not functioning, with the panel being unresponsive, an error code present, weak heating, and no air conditioning. The issue could stem from a minor electrical fault, such as a defective cable or plug connection, or a more significant problem. Suggested solutions include checking fuses, considering a battery disconnect for a reset, and ultimately taking the vehicle to a workshop for proper diagnostics. The problem was identified as a defective electrical connector in the HVAC system, which was repaired at a cost.

Interesting. The XC40's climate control can be finicky. Any other electrical issues? A failing sensor or software glitch could cause this. Is it under warranty? If so, take it to Volvo. Have you tried disconnecting the battery for a while? It's a long shot, but a hard reset can clear up weird electrical issues.

Good point about the battery disconnect. It could cause issues, though unlikely in a modern car. Since you've already checked the basics, and you're concerned, it really does sound like something a workshop needs to diagnose properly. Based on your description, especially the stored error code, it may well be a defective cable or plug connection. These things happen. A garage can pinpoint the issue with diagnostics tools far easier than we can on a forum.

Would disconnecting the battery erase stored settings or require recalibration? I'm hesitant without knowing the consequences.

Took it to a workshop as suggested. It was a defective electrical connector in the HVAC system. Repair was 95€.
