Help.

[liar]

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.

when i took my car to the mechanic, they replaced the fuse and it worked fine. but then when i drove away it messed up again.

i hope it's an easy fix...

hope you have not wiped the radio out.. that is a very expensive trip to me if you have.

[Tommy Kaira RL]

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 Rogers]

Yes, change the radio to aftermarket.

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

When you put an aftermarket radio in you have a special AC controller that plugs straight into the car rather than through the radio.
