Anyone take their boosted Z it a Nissan dealer?

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.

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.

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.
