Mystery (solved!) : Interior mood lights suddenly appear
 

Update: I dug around and discovered my car has the Cube's mood lighting installed. The control dial for it looks like it was shoved underneath the dash, but must have fallen at some point and was sitting under the passenger-side floor mat. My gf's feet must have been turning the thing on and off last night. Party in my car!!! Thanks for the help, all.

I was driving to dinner with my girl tonight when interior mood lights suddenly started flashing in the foot wells and in the center cup holder of my Z!

The weird part is I don't know why they started flashing all of the sudden, and I certainly didn't install them (although I bought the car used with 2k miles on it, so perhaps the previous owner installed them.)

The colors were changing from red to green to blue to white, but when we got back in the car after dinner, the lights stayed dark for about 5 mins when they just went all white.

Any ideas how I can control this? They seem to have a mind of their own, and I don't see a switch anywhere.

Help!

LSD? Drugs are bad mmkay.

I know this sounds like a joke, but it's not!

The only other detail I left out was I was in a part of town where I had to use valet parking today, so maybe the valet hit a switch or something to turn it on? I just don't know where it is.

Believe me, I was trippin' when it started happening.

As you have an 09, you don't have heated seats.
So the buttons on your mid console (next to your cup holder) should be unused.
If they installed something, biggest chance is that they put the button in there.

Have you checked the wiring or fuse?

2009's don't have heated seats? That's news to me...I mean, since i own a 2009 and have a pair of switches, that when activated, make my seats warmer.

put up some pics....

Oops my mistake.. it's the heated mirrors you're missing...
(it's late)

But if he has a base, then the answer could still apply...

I think your car was saying "Chic a wow wow" or how ever that kind of music went.

Time to put in a movie.:tup:

:worthless:
or vids

Just pull the wiring and throw it out...far away.

My luck...nobody will "get" this..but I still thought I'd post it. :)

:icon18:

I get it.

I don't. :(

tettes,

Do you know the past member's name here that you bought your Z from (if they were a member here)? There was someone who was interested in adding lights to the cup holder, but that was some time back.

I love that joke!! was going to post it but ya beat me to it!

:bowrofl: you have to say it like the bow chicka bow wow, but brown chicken brown cow for those who dont get it!

I bought the car from a dealer, so unfortunately I'm not sure who the previous owner was.

I'm not good at fiddling with the electronics in my car, but I'll poke around and see if I can disable the thing somehow.

Thanks, guys. So damn weird!!!

Yeah, all of those buttons are disabled on mine. I'm gonna take blue660r01's advice now that it's light outside and check wiring, fuses, etc.

Thanks, man.

Here you go...the Nissan PDF install instructions: Cube Interior Lighting Kit installed in 370Z


P.S. 2theextreme is also a member here.

lol..yep. Thank god someone got it.

(Hi-Jack over, promise.) :) Enjoy the video!

thats a bus ride I wouldnt miss, but the Pussy cat dolls their not.

my question is, why would you want to disable this? sounds kinda cool to me.

honestly, i do think it's kind of cool. i was just confused as to why it was turning on and off seemingly on its own, but now that i found the controller, problem solved!

thanks, man!

I believe you have an aurora in your car...

We have heated seats.

:shakes head:
