Hi
I have a Vauxhall Omega 3 and the climate control board is completely blank and as a result the temperature / air con doesnt work and neither do the window defrost front and back , and oddly enough the cigarette lighter which is not in that panel but could be a conicendence
The radio works and so do the heated seats / hazard indicators etc
I took it to Vauxhall and there were very unsure about what the problem was as they had not seen this problem before - they  siad that the control panel probably needed replacing but the diagnostic machine didnt show any errors so  I thought I would see if anyone on this site has any ideas

Whats an Omega 3?  I assume you mean Omega-B Facelift. Once you confirm, I'll look at wiring diagramds

[TheBoy]

As an aside, there were only 2 Omegas - Omega-A (branded Carlton in UK) and Omega-B (branded Omega in UK). Some people incorrectly refer to Facelifted Omega-B as Omega-C, which is wrong.

Hokey doke, just looking at wiring diagrams now

[TheBoy]

Does the computer display just right of centre air vents work?

Does the ciggy lighter work?

[snowball]

the best way I can describe is that the top section between the two knobs that control the temperature for either side of the car alll the way across it totally blank
The centre section with the radio and the hazard indicator works / boot etc works
The cigarette lighter doesnt.
Not sure if this helps but It was working on a long journey and I think up to the time I reached my destination as I am sure that I would have noticed due to the temperature outside if it wasnt but the next day it was completely blank - I had my phone plugged into the cigarrette lighter and removed it when I reached my destination - could a wire have come loose as a result of me unplugging the phone charger

Brilliant, double check F14 then

[snowball]

Sorry what F14 then

[TheBoy]

Fuse 14, in fusebox under steering wheel

[snowball]

thanks - just done and it is fine - replaced with new one any way but still the same nothing

[snowball]

fuse is ok but the display is blank - nothing works on that panel section - tried reset holding down two buttons down as well but that didnt work either

[TheBoy]

OK, so we dig a little deeper then.

Turn Ign key to II, then back to 0 but do NOT remove key. Radio should still be on, along with computer display.

Open drivers door. Do you get a audiable warning?

[snowball]

Yes there is an audible noise - as it is now dark noticed the middle section presumably a back light behind the knobs etc is lit but only on the middle section - htere is no back light either on the top section

OK, checking the wiring diagrams again...
