Funny A/C problem

Post by dustinclish »

Since I got my 1994 850 none of the A/C controls do anything at all but, the heater will come on randomly whenever it wants to. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?

I'm pretty sure it's auto.. How can you tell? I would love to fix this, I don't have defrost or a heater right now and it's getting cold outside :(
