I need some help.

Haven't driven my car in awhile n forgot to start it in couple weeks, hence battery died.

Tried to jump start it and it wouldn't kick over, it was a fairly new battery so we kept trying for about 10 minutes.

It just kept ticking and didn't kick over and then finally it started.

But ... now the sound system or screen wont turn on, and the aircon wont adjust or anything. The aircon just sits on automatic and stays on.

all other electrics seem to be fine.

what do you think the problem is?

any feedback will be appreciated!

thanks

How did you jump start it?

First place would be to check fuses. I can understand how the sound system & the air con not working they are on the same circuit. Its weird how the screen has stoped working at the same time. Have you tried all the dash buttons? Is the screen on and just showing black or is it stuffed.

Those things all run off circuits less than 12v it dosent take much to spike them.

Did you accidentlt touch the 12v to the chassis?

Do you have a reverse camera?

this same thing happened to be a few years back.

the issue was with the wiring in the boot leading to the camera

hey thanks for the feedback.

um jump start just with cables and another car and pretty sure i didnt touch anything except the battery.. Just kept trying to turn the car on and it kept ticking and not kicking over, after about 10 minutes it did.

The tv screen is just blank, pretty sure it's not even on. All the buttons on the centre dash don't work. The aircon just sits on auto.

and no i don't have a reverse cam.

I thought it could be a fuse, have to check that.

Or you could just do the dash conversion with a local radio and never have to fix the bose again. Also is your dvd rom under the glovebox booting up. That would input the screen.

Was there a solution to this? My 2002 V35 has done this once before but corrected itself soon after. Today it has stayed in this state (no radio, none of the buttons do anything and aircon on cold / auto). Thanks, Ben

Chris, does changing the radio mean that I won't have air conditioning? If they are connected now (ie the radio is making the air conditioning not work) how will the air conditioning react when there is no (factory) radio at all? Ben

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
