Problem overview

Some Dodge Challenger owners report experiencing radio failure, which may manifest as a completely black screen while still having power to certain functions like climate control buttons. Additionally, some owners have noted uncontrollable climate control settings, indicating potential firmware problems or complete system failures in the climate control module. High temperatures within the cabin are also a concern, often linked to malfunctioning climate control systems, such as issues with air re-circulation or faulty actuators that hinder effective temperature regulation. To address these problems, owners are advised to conduct diagnostic testing on fuses related to the radio and climate control systems and seek professional inspection if issues persist. In some cases, recalibrating the automatic temperature control systems may help resolve erratic climate control behavior.
