Temperature Control Display Problem!
i have a 1996 Audi A4, I am having problems with the tempeture control display. The red back to the display lights up but the numbers and letter don't come up. But they do when I when i press the control buttons (the air and heating still works). and sometimes the display (lights and all) black and out and come back on. Now does this sound like the display is starting to or does this sound like an electrical issue?

I had all sorts of display weirdness for a week before my car died on me
Turned out all of my wiring inside the engine compartment was completely corroded, and needed replacing. Took a week.

The 1996 climate control unit is a special beast due to the type of AC compressor
the 96's had. If you replace it be very careful about matching part numbers.
