2016 Chevy Cruze Air Conditioning Stuck On

About 6 weeks ago I had to get a jump for my Chevy Cruze, and afterward I noticed that my A/C was stuck on and not modifiable in any way.

The AC now blows moderately cold air at medium high power through all the vents. I cannot change the temperature, location of airflow, or power level of flow to the AC, nor can I shut it off. Additionally, none of the lights on the AC dials work, but I am also Not receiving any error messages from the car either.

This Chevy Cruze has about 35,000 miles on it, and I live in DC and don't use my car very often. It gets driven about once a week.

Is there anything I can do, or anyone I should speak to?

Thanks so much, you guys are the best!

Disconnect your negative battery cable for about a minute and reconnect. It sounds like your HVAC controller is locked up.

It's becoming more and more common with newer cars.

Its under bumper to bumper just take the car in to the dealership. You can try the battery trick but if it doesn't work sounds like the hvac module is done for.
