The problem was rain water entering the cabin above the blower motor due plastic cover off under the hood. The water was under the front passenger seat. This water influenced a control module under the passenger seat. The solution was to dry the interior of the car. That's what I did with a heating fan. After the module was dry, the air conditioner and heater works again. | ||
