Default I don't know if I broke it or not, WTF!

I had the front part of the dash apart the other day so I could put the XM Radio on my AVIC D3. After putting everything back together, my climate control blower didn't work. Simple mistake I forgot to plug the damn switch back in. I noticed that after making sure all the connections were nice and tight, and in the right place, the blower motor works, but I don't have any A/C and nothing comes out of the vents, just the floor. It can take up to 10 minutes for anything to blow out of the dash vents, and hot air at that. Is it possible that I blew the electical systme in the clilmate control? Anybody have any suggestions, before I buy a new one. 82 degrees today w/ a black car and black leather is brutal.

Nah,im sure you didnt blow you EATC.Your 100% positive that you plugged everthing in right?Its tight fit behind the panel.Recheck your connections,and if that checks out okay,check your owners manual and start tracing fuses down.If you dont have an owners manual,PM me and will look it up for you.

I had the same problem when I put my Ipod connector in. Take it back apart you left one of the plugs loose, trust me it won't seem loose but plug it in hard and try the air before you put everything back together and it should work fine. Those a/c plugs and blower stuff are a royal P.I.T.A. because of how short the wires are.

If all it is, is a lost connection, I'm gonna freak. I must have had the dame thing apart a least a dozen times. The last time I disconnected everything and repluged it all back together, checked and the air was ice, blowing like normal. 2 hours later when I pulled out of the station, back to the same problem. I'll pull it apart again in the morning and REALLY muscle it in this time. Hopefully it's just that simple. Any idea how much a replacement would run me, for ***** and giggles?

I pulled it all apart again, and after squeezing my big meat chops behind the dash, I managed to put some electrical tape on the connectors. Hopefully this will keep it all working. Works like new for now, but we'll see. Thanks for the help.
