Why is the climate sensor on my car not working?

If you are getting very hot air all the time then the monovalve is seeing a ground at all times. Before anything else, check the connector on top of the monovalve. It is a small black plastic plug that could have been knocked off while you were changing the front shocks or air filter mounts.

How do I get the climate sensor on my dash to work?

Note: for a long time now (years and years), in order to get any of the buttons to work, I usually have to click the defrost button first and then the other buttons will engage and work. Not all the time, but most of the time.

Where is the plug in the climate control panel?

If the plug is still attached, the problem MAY be in your climate control push button panel or it MAY be in your temperature regulator (silver box behind the glove box). Both can be replaced for units that have been rebuilt.

How can I tell if my temperature sensor is in parasitic mode?

Verify that the sensor is receiving +5V across the voltage source wire and the ground wire at the sensor connection. This will help insure that the sensor is not functioning in parasitic mode. The 1-Wire bus is “single-ended” and has no intrinsic noise protection.
