Climate Control Not Working
I posted this in the 2009 & up forum, so I apologize if your seeing this twice. I just thought someone here might also have some insight...
Ok, I'm running speaker wire and removed (took it loose from the mounting brackets but didn't remove any wires) the fuse box to get to the molex connector. I had the negative battery cable removed.
When I got everything back like it was, I replaced the battery cable. Everything works fine, but the Climate Control (has seat heater controls, heater/ac, air flow controls). It has no lights and doesn't respond. I've checked the fuse (inside the truck #46 - 10 amp) and it's fine. I've verified by checking for power on both sides of the fuse, and I have power. I've read up and down the manual looking for other fuses or relays related to the climate control and can't find anything.
I tried taking the battery cable off and letting is sit for 30-40 minutes. It didn't help, but I noticed that when the CD player was cycling through the CD's, the Climate Control Module came on for a couple of seconds, then went off again. I'm thinking it's a relay or something...
Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks for the response. I thought the same thing. I've check/reconnected all connectors running from the box and any pretty much any that are under the dash... Plus, when I disconnect and reconnect the battery the unit lights up briefly.

Sounds like you may have pinched the BUS wire or forgotten to put the ground back on. I have taken mine off many times. The wire is tiny, and may have been overlooked. Also, if you were under the passenger seat at all, the bus wire runs through there as well. If you mounted an amp or something into the carpet under the seat, be careful where you screw into the carpet pad.
