Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 99 C2 born 4/98 and over the weekend I tackled my "no heat" problem by disassembling the center stack and cutting into the "air box" to replace the missing foam. I removed the radio (a non-factory Sony unit) the climate control panel and the switches on either side of the center stack. In my car the switches are 1) variable speed wiper control, 2) central lock button, 3) rear defrost, and 4) cigarette lighter. I didn't notice until the next day the following: The windows won't go up and down using the switches The central lock switch does nothing The rear defrost switch does nothing Locking from the key fob results in two beeps from the horn and nothing else Note that the windows still dip when opening/closing the doors and that all the above items worked prior to removing the radio/climate panel. I haven't checked the wiper delay or the cigarette lighter. The radio and the climate controls work as expected so I don't understand what I did, but I obviously did something to tick the car off. Unfortunately I don't have a Durametric and I live in a small town so the isn't an indy here. Any thoughts/ideas on what I can check?

POST 2Original post

Did u check the fuses. maybe one popped when u were doing the work. Check b6, d1, d2. Or u hooked the wrong plug up to the wrong switch.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I labeled the plugs before removing them, so I was fairly confident they were okay, but I confirmed them anyway. I checked the three fuses you suggested and they were okay. (Used a multi-meter) After checking them I was sitting there thinking and realized that none of the interior lights were on. Checking the diagram shows C3. Sure enough, it was bad. In over 35 years of fooling with cars I don't think I've killed a fuse before so I guess that's why it didn't come to mind. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Good deal. its a good reminder to check the easy things first .

^^^This. So much this. I'm just glad I don't need to visit the dealer or someone with a PIWIS and pay.
