Default AUIII Fairmont Climate Control Resetting itself

In the last month, the climate control system in my AUIII Fairmont has been occasionally resetting itself on engine start.

When it does this, the display goes "all on" for about 5 seconds or so, then comes up with default settings. (Off and 22 degrees).

As with the best problems, this wasn't happening every time I started up. Perhaps strangely, it happened mostly when I started up to go home from work. Once it is up, it's working fine. It's just annoying to have to reset the temp back to a more reasonable 20 degrees.

I did a manual reset of the CC system (held down Off and Floor buttons) and didn't see the problem for a couple of weeks, but now it's back again.

Has anybody seen this one before? Any ideas why this might be happening?

Roy...

Ours did this all the time, AU II Fairmont, the screen number then started to fade.. I think we had the unit replaced twice under warranty but gave up on the car once the BA came out.. Id say its got something to do with the climate module interface and heat.

It is annoying, doesnt seem to be a fix for it either.

Try contacting the guys on ebay that do the cluster fixes for the climate screens. If anyone would know it'll be them as they fix hundreds of them.
