    Well it sure as heck sounds like your climate control unit is the problem. Probably an internal short somewhere. If you were an electronics/techy kind of guy you might dig into the thing and see if you can locate any shorts or burnt up connections. Electrical gremlins are tricky in any case and your best bet is to just replace it. You should be relieved that it was such an easy problem to pinpoint. Some of us (myself included) have on-going electrical issues that we have learned to live with. Personally, if my headlights are not on, every time I put on the blinker all of the lights on my climate control unit flash along with the blinker, as do my lower running lights in the rear. I think it was caused when the PO installed LED signal/tail lights. I have yet to pinpoint the problem so I just live with it. lol

    Regarding your problem... do you know if a load resistor was added? Sometimes when converting to LED, it's common to have to use a load resistor.

    Regarding my problem, it sounds like it might be the climate control unit... but who knows if that's really it. As soon as I can get one in my hands and test it, then I'll know for sure...

    I see that little resistors were added in line. I'm not sure if they were the correct ones for the job though. Either way, it's not causing any major issues so I really haven't messed with it too much. Plus with the headlights on, everything works fine, so I normally drive with them on even during the day. lol
