L3 Climate only works intermittently

[Z2TT]

Hi,

on my VS, my L3 Climate control only works intermittently. it would not come on after pressing ad the buttons repeadetly, then sometimes it would just decide to come on and then it all works.

I have replaced it with another one, and still have the same problem. Have tried wiggling plugs but doesn't help.

Any ideas, common problem?

get someone to wiggle the check lamp relay in the relay box under the bonnet, while you watch the climate control.

if it goes on and off, retension the pins on the relay base.

Thanks,

I wiggled it, that was it, I tried to retension the pins but no luck, so I thought the crimps were bad, tried to depin the wires but too much trouble,
ended up bypassing the relay.
