Well, my car goes into the dealer on Friday because of the center console being completely dead. This morning everything was fine, drove to work, no problems whatsoever. I leave from work, start the car and hit the wheel to turn the stereo on, nothing. I look over and no lights on anything in the center, no radio, A/C nothing. Hit the buttons, no go, nothing works at all. Weird thing is the A/C is on and shows on the above display dual climate control set at 78, blowing nice cool air. I searched the archives but havn't seen this issue. Anyone have a clue? I checked fuses and they are fine but I did not know if there was a fusable link going to the center. Ideas? Thank goodness I'm still under warranty.

 

fuse burn out?

 

nope checked them all. The way the whole center died it would seem that if it was a fuse then at least 2 would have blown.

 

did you check the mirror fuse?

 

No I checked the stereo and others but not the mirror fuse. Hmmm, I'll check on that in the morning. Is it wired in thru the console?

 

when my radio didn't work.. the mirror fuse was out.. pretty retarded

 

damnn my radio died on me twice since ive had my 6MT (last october) i turned my car off and back on and it worked fine...hopefully this doesnt happen again or im gonn ahave a hard time at the dealer.....again!!

 

i think you need a new board (the one behind the stereo/AC unit).

 

Well, took it in and yes they replaced then entire system board. OBTW they said there was a dealer advisory on these a while back and to replacement was advised for 2003-2005 coupes and sedans

 

same thing happened to me in december, went to the dealership and they replaced it cuz of warranty. no problems since
