I have a 2012 Tucson limited. When I drove the car to work the climate control was working fine. When I drove it at lunch time the climate control was not working. I have checked every fuse in the cabin and under the hood and they are all good. How do I know if the whole unit has to be replaced or if there is another issue? I do have remote start that is factory installed but never use it.

 

Which part? The Fan or the control panel?

 

the control panel

 

I'm sorry. Some people get confused. And say the Climate Control isn't working, Then find out its the fan.


Is your still under Warranty? If someone had a good scan tool, Not the Generic code readers, They could check to see if there is any Body Codes in the computer. Which would help narrow down the diagnosis.

 

I bought the extended warranty but it is not covered. I really love the car and have not had any issues so far. It does have 87,000 miles. I had a sonata limited that got 250,000 miles. What I have found is that when issues do arise it gets costly. The new part for the climate control is $570. I guess I will just have to pay to get it replaced. Thanks for the replies.

 

Part of the problem is, You can only get the Repair Manual from Hyundai. Makes it hard when I do my own Maintenance.

 

If you know the part number, search eBay for used ones. I've done that before with great success. Had to replace the 3 dial unit in my Tucson years ago. The used one has been great. And I just recently replaced the 3 dial unit in my daughters Spectra I just bought. The lights for the temp dial didn't work. The used one I got from eBay was nicer than the original. Didn't even look used.

 

I am extremely surprised that the part is not covered under the extended warranty. Based upon the information provided I believe that you will need on of these two part numbers 97250-2S321-TAN (CONTROL ASSEMBLY - HEATER made by Hyundai. #972502S321TAN) or 97250-2S321-TAP (CONTROL ASSEMBLY - HEATER made by Hyundai. #972502S321TAP). If you send me your VIN number I can determine the exact part number you need. I would be happy to provide the part to you if you need a new item or you can use the part number to look over the internet for a used one.
