Can anyone help with a Climate control ( a/c ) problem?
The dash display is not working... nothing on screen and there is no fan or a/c.
the fuse under steering column is OK, and the fan in engine bay is working.
Do i need to go to my Subaru dealer and have a diagnostic test done

Some times the circuit board gets cracks in the traces or wire connections, causing it not to work. Take it apart and have a look.

I had a very similar problem. I found that just taking it apart, cleaning up all the contacts solved the issue. Thankfully, thats all it needed.

Upon searching this problem, cracking of soldered joints is a somewhat common thing.

I take it you probably have the automatic climate control correct?

If so, it too also probably suffers from the cracked solder joints. Check out this thread for some more info.
