has anyone had/seen/heard of/have any idea of how my problem? with the ignition on(motor not running) my ac/fan/demister controls all work fine, but if i crank the motor the car starts, then dies straight away. if i start the car with the a/c controls OFF everything runs perfect, as soon as i turn them on the dash lights turn off and the motor stalls. ive tried putting in another a/c control unit(face and motherboards) but still have the same issue so i doubt its that. please give me guidance...this is killing me!

as michael has said, look for a bad connection proballa an earth wire , but could be power wire to the dash. When you have the fan on, the extra current being drawn causes a voltage drop at the "bad" connection, that is why the dash turns off and engine stops.there is an earth point under the centre controls around the gear shift.
