You need to be a bit more specific. Did the amber temperature/fan speed display stop working or did all functions stop as well? The control units are prone to fail on these cars as is just the display. There is also a control modules that can go bad as well. Repair of the module is not cost-effective option. I would first suggest having the BMW codes scanned and then replace the offending control or module with a used one. Part will be less than $100 plus you and cost for running codes.

Good luck,

SOURCE: ac control pannel doesnt work and hot air only come out vents

You might want to check and see if you can find any inline fuses going directly to the control panel. I had the same problem on a different car. Just in case.....there should be fuses under dash and under hood. Maybe a relay is even out.

SOURCE: heater not working on 1994 528i bmw but ac blower works

Hi it sounds like either the thermostat or the heater matrix, although if there is air in the system then this would also cause this fault. get the thermostat checked first as this could cause more damage if not fixed quickly.

The heater matrix or heater core may be blocked or not circulating the warm air, This is a more expensive job if it will not unblock.

Hope this helps

My ac was working fine then one day it stopped and now only hot air blows out the mechanic said the ac is fine and works good but there is a vent door that switches the ac to heater and he said it was...

There is a blender that controls the air flow to go through the heater core for heat, and the evaporator for AC. It very well could be stuck.

You maybe able to try and get it to get unstuck by running the cars AC and switching from heat to AC back and forth and see if it gets unstuck. Just turn it on full blast and go from heat to cool.

If that fails, then you may need to service it. There should be a Lever Marked VENT under the dash, usually by the Brake and other pedals on the Driver's Side. Close the VENT and that will stop the Air from coming in and leave the A/C Blowing through the outlets(Vents).

I also read this online if you have an electronic climate control. "On climate control press off and heat button and let go quickly. Then press automatic. The display will start rotating eventually displaying a code 025,125 , 024 etc. Then press defrost to stop. You may hear blend door operating atb that time. It worked for my climate control."

Heater, AC & radio suddenly stopped working....

Fuses are in the kick panel on the passenger side. If it blows again, you will need to find the malfunction (don't put in a higher rated fuse) Most times the blower motor will cause fuse failure as when the motor gets older it begins to draw excessive amperage...but don't change it till it is actually verified as being bad.
