Tomj8 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 has anyone experienced a climate control center that will not turn on & only shows a back light? What could be issue? Yep, lots of us have seen the black climate control display. The display needs to be replaced at the very least, and it may be that there are other issues with the climate control as well. Buying a new one is out of the question as dealer is the only way to get one and dealers will quote more than $1100.00 US, last I heard. You can look for used ones on eBay but caution, they are not 100% compatible across all model years. Best bet is having yours rebuit. Contact Sammy Wu at Mikado Technology, 8840 Forest Street, Gilroy, CA 95020 (650)615-9966 for a quote - usually around $200.00 depending on what exactly needs to be repaired (if anything) other than the display itself. Mikado Technology provides this service to Lexus dealers nation wide. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbarhorst2 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Is your cigarette lighter working? It could be your fuse because both run off of the same one. Check to make sure you have not dropped a coin down into the lighter socket before changing fuse. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
