Strange Electrics Issue. Aircon Always On!

[jjjones]

Hey Guys,

Started getting weird problems with my v35. Turned the car on today and it would automatically go into the auto aircon mode.

Pressing any button will not respond, aircon and stock headunit. Anyone seen this happen before?

The other day the stock bose headunit was playing up where it would turn itself off and on again, then the aircon thing would happen. But it would eventually turn off again and go back to normal.

I haven't done anything to the car and it is complete stock so not sure if this is a "common" issue or not. At the moment ive disconnected the car battery to see if it somehow "resets" this issue.

Could it be a fuse problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Unit problem. Replace it.

Thanks for the reply Chris.

You wouldn't happen to have any for sale would you? Have you seen this issue before?

Update: So i smacked the side of the headunit/climate control console and the issue seems to be fixed for now...

I lol'd.

Good fix.

Yeah, reading teh g35driver forums. It seems to be quite a common issue. Only fix is to replace the unit or go with one of those aftermarket or oem doubledin kits. Smacking it was also a temporary fix.

I seem to have to smack it everytime i start the car now to get it to go normal.

You'd be surprise how often hitting things fix them. Alternator not charging? Give her a little tap with a hammer. Starter not cranking? Give her a decent crack with a hammer. Temporary fixes only though.

Replace the unit. Only real fix. I stopped repairing these things years ago.

Yeah, im currently looking for the OEM JDM double din kit. Seems there is a shortage of these at the moment, no-one seems to have any in stock with no ETA on new shipments.

I want to avoid buying the aftermarket metra kits.

[Chris Rogers]

No shortage of them. I bought 3 sets yesterday ex japan.

[jjjones]

Thanks for the reply Chris, just sent you a PM.

I think the series2 double din units are getting hard to find.. I thought the Series1 were still available.

[Chris Rogers]

I have no problem buying either of them. US Suppliers may have issues. I don't.

[sonicii]

^^ good to know.. the prices in USA have been skyrocketing for the S2 double din and some said they have had them on backorder for months with no ETA. Good to you know can get them if I decide to go down this path.

Hey Guys,

Thought id update this in case anyone else was after the double din kit. I was able to source one from Sewell Infiniti:

Seems they only have the kit for 03-04 cars.
