climate control issue

The other day I turned on DEFROST at the medium setting and within a few minutes I heard a "beep" like I had pushed a button and air started blowing full speed out of my vents. All of the climate buttons were lighted and my temp gauge showed no numbers. I was unable to select any option so I let it be thinking it may fix itself when I turn off the vehicle. But here I sit with the same complex and I don't know what to do. I've checked all the fuses that I thought might have anything to do with the A/C but they're all fine.
Any help?

Here's some pictures of what I see everytime I turn the car on:

Re: climate control issue

I dont believe a fuse would be it.... it really seems as if you have a short somewhere. The climate control computer may be to blame.... have you tried see if it will self test for any codes?

Re: climate control issue

When you get a whole lot of things going on with a unit, it is likely that there is a grounding problem.
