Heater Quit!

today when i ran in the store heater was working fine,came out started the truck and nothing! the lights on the climate control was out and no heater.so i figured i blew a fuse,so when i got home i pulled the fuses,and none were blown.so when i got in the truck to take it to the garage the heater was working,digital display was working and everything was good.so if its not broke you cant fix it.so now i just have to wait until it does it again,anybody ever have this happen.i figured it was maybe a corroded contact on one of the fuses,but thats generally not my luck,and i figure the digital climate control is pretty expensive.any body have any ideas.the truck is an 06 250 harley edition with 94,000 miles

I have had 2 trucks do it. Both 2005 models. Usually I notice it when I'm backing out of the driveway, I just stop, shut it off and restart and all is well. About 2 months ago it wouldn't come back on. I shut the truck off and started several times while running errands. I ended up pulling the climate control electrical connector off the back of the unit and reseating the plug. Havent had an issue since. I didn't even pull the dash, just reached up from underneath. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Mine did this twice in a couple of weeks right after I got it. As crmarshall said, a restart would make it work. Didn't do anything to it but hasnt done it again in almost a year.

Mine has done it A few time when I used my auto headlamp and a couple without using them I found a thread the said to turn vehicle off and use key fob to lock doors then unlock with fob works everytime. Since I stopped using auto headlamps it's only done it once

I have an 05 as well mine does this a couple times a year. Usually if I turn the headlights on and off it starts working again. I don't know how the two are connected other than a dimmer switch but it always works. When mine does this the whole Climate control unit is off until I play with the lights. Strange I know.

I think they all do it now and again. My 06 does it once or twice a year
