I've seen several threads on issues mentioning the climate control and radio going out after a short, and I think that's what happened to us. However, I've never seen anyone really post a fix. No blown fuses anywhere, but I'm guessing from the absolute zero power and what others have posted, it is most likely a relay. Some people point towards relay 370 under the kick panel, but that's again just a guess from what others have posted.

I've tried to read some electrical diagrams I have come across, but I'm unable to trace these down to a relay. Does anyone know which relay powers up the climate control and stereo when you switch on the ignition?

Thanks for looking at the post.

Found this finally. I checked out pretty much every solenoid and everything was good. I thought I had checked all the fuses, but I missed the one fuse that was blown. A small 5 amp one in slot 5. I looked online to find a matching description, but looks like this could be different on certain cars. Mine said something similar to ignition power. Most other listings show all sorts of stuff, which may be accurate

Essentially it is the power from the ignition to the all the central console stuff to turn it on. Not their actual power source, which each has their own fuse. Just the turn on signal when the key is turned.

Hopefully this helps someone else in the future.
