bad soldering connection on temperature change knob
In a lot of rx8's, the soldering on the temperature change knob is extremely faulty from the factory which causes no connection between the board and the knob itself.
To fix it, pull out your radio, disassemble the radio until you get to the bottom part where you can slide out the AC controller unit (with the board) and just solder 3 of the connections on the temperature control knob in the back.
