- If continuity does exist, repair shorted White/Red wire between climate control unit and sunlight sensor. If continuity does not exist, check for continuity in White/Red wire between climate control unit connector and sunlight sensor connector. If continuity does not exist, repair open White/Red wire between climate control unit and sunlight sensor.
- If continuity does exist, check for continuity in Pink/Blue wire between climate control unit 8-pin connector and sunlight sensor connector. If continuity does not exist, repair open Pink/Blue wire between climate control unit and sunlight sensor. If continuity does exist, reconnect sunlight sensor connector.
- Test sunlight sensor. See SUNLIGHT SENSOR TESTING . If sunlight sensor is okay, check for loose wires or poor connections at climate control unit 8-pin and 20-pin connectors and sunlight sensor connector. If connections are okay, substitute known-good climate control unit and recheck. If symptom does not exist after substituting known-good climate control unit, replace original climate control unit.
