Wife was driving today in our 2004 Pilot AWD. Temp control panel going in and out. Speedometer going wonky. Outside temperature off by about 50 degrees. All of this happened at once. Seems to be intermittent, as everything randomly goes back to normal. Any idea that would connect those three seemingly separate components?
A few things come to mind. First, you could post the details to the piloteers forum as I think that is the largest collection of knowledgeable pilot people. Second, it could be a power/ground problem though those can be a challenge to chase. Last, perhaps it is an ECU issue since that controls many devices. Sorry I can’t help more.
Hmm, it wouldn't be if you didn't change out the thermal fuse. However, if you accidentally shorted something out while replacing the transistor, you could end up with the same kind of problem. If you have a multimeter and can check for shorts, check the pins of the new transistor to see if any are shorted together - i.e. close to 0 ohms resistance. Of course, if you disconnect the transistor completely using the connector, the fan should stop. If it does, then you know that there's a problem in that assembly and it's probably the transistor pins shorting together.
Nice!
Jonas - you need to get up earlier in the morning to stay first.

I just swapped out the transistor today and now the air to the back doesn't stop blowing. FULL BLAST lol could this be my issue also?

@ravraid so I disconnected it but it's was still blowing air, I'm at a lost here
Second!
