Alhambra aircon - stephensmith
I have a Seat Alhambra Mk1 20V turbo. The aircon display unit reset every time the ignition is turned on. I have the two lives plus the two ignition lives to the unit along with two earths.
The aircon is not blowing cold but this may just need topping up. I want to sort the electrics out before paying for regasing.
Am I missing any live feeds, could the unit not be holding memory, is there a fuse in the dash unit, has anyone seen this fault before.
Any help please.
Steve.

Before you go any further ,the reason for the climate display flashing on ignition start up is to indicate there is a fault in the system.Inadequate gas charge may be one of the reasons for the display to do this.Take it to a good independant who can read the diagnostic memory.

Many Thanks, low gas was the cause.

If low gas was the cause, then it won't be long before the display is flashing again.
