[xj] 86 xj6 SIII climate control

XJ
1

My cars temperature control has gone crazy. Selected to 65 it puts out max
cold for a minute and then switches to max heat. It continues to cycle back
and forth.
I have seen similar problems posted in the archives but not a solution. Is
this common? does anyone know what part of the system I should give my
attention to.

thanks, Bob Ranson

I’d suggest first going in and unplugging and replugging all the
electrical connections related to the system, just to be sure of the
contacts.–

There are only two connectors that matter in this case. And since I have
already replaced seven amplifiers so far this year for the cycling back &
forth problem I’d say it is a damn good guess here. And yes they were all
different cars :-)!
