Nissanimo Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Had a problem yesterday when driving the 350z. as was driving along i turned the air con switch on and immediately the car stalled and all the lights illuminated on the dashboard. The car wouldn't start for a hour or so and seemed to work again fine albeit with the engine warning light on. I've noticed now that whenever i go to switch the air con on the car the engine stalls and again the same problem occurs... was wondering as a new 350z owner if anybody has encountered this problem before??

martinmac Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum. A few quick question to get things rolling.. Is the car a uk or import. How old is it ( and the battery). An ECU reset may be worth a try, there is a guide on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissanimo Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Car is UK, 53 reg. so is old in regards to UK Motors. I admit i dont know if it is a battery issue as volt indicator stays within normal range and all other electrics continue to work as normal..

srobrien Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Possibly a faulty aircon control unit, alot of instruments seem to rely on this controller for some reason? Im no expert but seems like it could be a possibility. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im no expert but seems like it could be a possibility. R +1 Alot of things rely on the ACM Its a white box-unit behind the center console... would take about 45mins diy to swap it out if you can get a used module from a breakers. ...but i couldnt say if that is actually causing the problem.
