My grandson left the dome light on all night and ran the battery down I put a new battery in and now the ac and the heat switches won't work. I checked all fuses and relays all are good. When I push the AC button it doesn't light or anything and when I change the thermostat control button to hot or cold it stays the same as outside temp. Blower motor switch works fine in all positions
You need to ensure the engine is running when you are testing the AC or heating systems, as they rely upon a compressor to work the heat pump.
If your engine is on when you are testing this and no different temp air comes out, you should ensure your AC system is properly charged with coolant and that the compressor is engaging and functioning. If not, it will need to be replaced.

a/c control unit/module seems to be defective!!!!! because its the one that switches on the compressor!

Your problem is on the fan speed switch on the dash board. You can get it from the dealer for $50.00 or you can get the whole control assembly with all the switches from a junk yard for about $50.00. I had the same problem and that's what I did.
Good luck.

Thank You I bought a used A/C Heat control module and put it on and it works great and easy to install. Just popped out the trim around the radio and the ac vents took out 2 screws on each side of the unit and plugged up the wiring harness wires and everything works
