Thanks for the updated information. Turns out it was the 7.5 amp fuse, only BMW. Anyway, the buttons seem to work ok, but it doesn't work when I try to use the button to increase the fan speed, only decrease. I have to use the MAX button to raise the fan speed. SO, at some point I 'll try to find another climate control panel.
Thanks again for your help.
