Oil capital of the world. Yeah there's definitely money here :tup:

The thing is I sell very expensive wood windows and doors that are impact resistant for hurricanes. you don't have enough hurricane risk. Most of my customer don't live here, they tie big money up in their homes here and claim they live here. Under Florida law even if you go bankrupt they can't take your home as long as you are making the payments so people build 10-30 million dollar homes as safety net. Even if I could do it somewhere else it has taken 20 years to build the relationship with customers and I'm not starting over unless I have to. My mom lives in Dallas and I love everything about Texas but I can't leave here.

YOu could sell those easy in socal as long as they also prevent home invasion lol

Edit: I told you man the reader at the Pep Boys is top notch **** for our cars they are one of the best equipped places to take a Z which was really strange to me at first, find a pepboys with a good tech and you are set.

Yes but I'm also into guns, so Cali is a HELL NO!

I like Texas for it's freedom, Cali doesn't have that!

Damn! the sun sensor eh. I saw that in the components diagram when I was researching last night.. but i was staying focused on things in the area of the radiator that would have been messed with.

Hopefully you get it resolved shortly!

1slow370: any idea which model scan tool they are using?

We will see but it still seems odd to me that it's a sensor in the dash. I guess it check to see how bright it is for the auto setting on the AC.

Phunk I think it's a verus or something he mentioned it may have extended support than the normal one.

While you are waiting for the new sensor... I would try unplugging the battery for ten minutes. Can't hurt to try.

Ya you know I found it rather strange that the AC system is disabled without the ambient sensor too. Seems rather goofy to not have the system default to allow you to at least activate the compressor even if the climate control accuracy is gone. I dont even pay attention to that crap anyway, I just go for "more hot" or "more cold" and dont pay attention to temp settings.

I guess it cant hurt to try disconnecting the battery. I will try tomorrow.

I have been told by Nissan,the A/c shop and Pep Boys that if he doesn't get a reading from all the sensors it will not work, If so that was a stupid idea.

Nissan is really good at stupid ideas when it comes to electronics.

Some cars have odd **** going on, I had a '06 Tiburon and the air quality sensor was tied into the headlights...sensor went, no headlights.

Just a wild guess but it really sounds like the air conditioning was turned on when there was no refrigerant in system causing the system to throw a low pressure fault through a pressure sensor. When this happens the system will not run the compressor until the fault is cleared out(If Nissan uses the same system as I'm used to with Mercedes).

I'd guess disconnecting your battery will likely bring it back to normal.

:iagree: that was part of my problem. Also my tuner gave me a manual relearn process that set my idle waaaay too low so when I finally turned my ac on the car didn't have enough power to run the belt so it bogged down and frayed the serpentine belt. It was a nightmare because all anyone could do was guess or point fingers

It's disconnected now so we will see.

It was worth a try but it didn't fix it.

SOSSOO if you fart the headlights go out :icon14::roflpuke2:

Only after Mexican food. It was extra spicy. lol

Off topic a bit but having your idle too low didn't cause issues with your serpentine belt, they are in no way related. Someone installing it a tooth/groove or more off and having it ride off centered rubbing against something caused your belt issues.

Sun sensor is in and working but still no A/C, they are still trying to figure it out.

when you say no a/c is the compressor not cylcing at all or is it jusnt not blowing cold? are you testing it at max cold setting with recirculation on?

Compressor does not come on at all.

Well it the relay that turns on the compressor that is not working. Pep Boys jumped the relay and the A/C runs but the problem is that relay is part of a almost $700 control box that isn't going to be here until Wednesday!

Ouch!

Yep $1k to change the radiator is now $2k plus!

Yea they charged me 1014.00$ to install my CSF radiator. The radiator itself only cost 600$

I sure would rather that money be going to coil overs but it is what it is.

Fine was just under $1k.

At least pep boy figure that out GL.

They need to trace back the trigger circuit to see if you have a wiring issue. (Broken wire in the harness). I have fixed a many an issue due to this when I worked at Nissan as a tech. I have a hard time believing the control box is part of the issue without everything being tested. Jumping the control relay proves nothing. They are missing something.

I agree it doesn't sound right but say everything is working. The computer is saying turn the compressor on but you can't see the signal at the compressor. They tested the wire between the compressor and the relay and it's fine.

They need to test from the trigger wire. Relay to computer (ECM). That is what energizes the relay to pull the contacts down.

I have seen a burnt connector in the main harness cause a no start issue on the brake neutral safety switch circuit.

Thank for the info, I will make sure that was tested.

actually i think the ac auto amp behind the heater controls triggers the compressor through the ipdm, it manages the pressures and things and sends the idle signal to the ecu. it's hella convoluted. you could actually swap the relay in the ipdm but you need another ipdm to harvest the relay from so hang on to old one incase another relay ever fails.

Very true, that is how the older system used to work. I am unsure on the can-bus systems. The only way to tell is to look at the wiring diagram in a service manual and trace out where it goes.

All of this non since is because the shop that installed it didn't install the Fn pressure switch!!!!

:happydance: :hello:

Glad you got it resolved now!

Wow! At least you found the problem.

WOW But at lease you have AC now. :/
