A/C Heater lights delay in coming on

[dkcwenge]

Hi Everyone,

I apologize in advanced if this topic has been covered, but I have a question for my girlfriend's 2002 Jetta 2.0L GLS before she returns it (lease is up in 1.5 weeks). She's been freaking out with all of the repairs and junk that she's finding the leasing company requires for things that have been falling apart in the Jetta. So any help is greatly appreciated.

She has a question: whenever she starts the car, the panel for the A/C and heater switches don't come on immediately. They eventually come on after a minute or so. Does anyone have any info on this -- why it does it and if there is some kind of connection problem that's causing it? It hasn't always been this way. I think the problem has only been occuring for the last few months out of the 5 years she's had the car.

Thanks in advance,

Danny
