350z Electrical malfunction prevents aircon to wor

[Mak]

Hi,

 

I’m experiencing this slightly unusual problem with my car.

 

Aircon doesn’t seem to function properly i.e only blows hot air.

 

Dealer suggested it might be the compressor. Got it checked by aircon specialist and they confirmed its not the compressor or even the aircon system. ECU also works fine.

 

They think the problem lies within electrics somewhere. This is not their specialist skill. Dealer now estimated 5 hours labour to run initial diagnostics. seems outrageous….

 

Wondering if anyone else has come across this type of problem with their zeds ?

Or have any suggestions or ideas to get it fixed?

 

Your help is much appreciated!

Maybe the climate control sensor has gone, or a fault temp dial?

Is the aircon light on on the right hand dial?

Yes the light comes on when the aircon button is pressed, however the compressor doesn;t kick in.

fuses? isnt that little white control module behing the dials got something to do with AC?

Might just need to be re-gassed at a guess

[Mak]

Do the dials come off? Is this module behind the dash panel?

 

its not a re-gassing issue as diagnostics confirmed.

 

any other clues?

White air-con module is behind the heater controls under the stereo. Maybe check all the connectors are in correctly?

 

Take out the gear lever surround and the centre fascia (where the stereo and cubby hole are) and you'll see it. There's a guide somewhere....

Mak, did you get this sorted? I have ac amp unit and about 7/8 ac pumps in stock (worst case).
