I'd start by checking all of the fuses, not just #1 (which is the CTSY fuse). Pulling the CTSY fuse will reset the AC control head, but something else sounds amiss here. I'd also disconnect the battery for a few minutes, just to be sure everything is reset.

Has any work been done on the car recently?

I know that the 90's use the CDM box as a hub in serial data communication from the radio head and the A/C panel to the CCM. Yea, it's nuts, but it is true. Did someone mess with the CDM box recently?

If not check over at the Net Registry site, hit the "maintenance" tab and the "troubleshooting" or "common issues" tabs there will be a topic: "loss of serial data a/c control" or something like that. Usually shutting the car off works to re-establish the logic for the A/C control head.....not too sure about the radio head, as I've never seen that one.

to follow up on this topic, My CDM failed and I'm driving around without one- the climate controls are totally functional.
