My V35 Parkers Light's Won't Turn Off

[MichaelV35]

Hey guys, I've got a really strange problem here but firstly the model of my car is a 2004 V35 250gt Sedan

I got sick of only getting 1 radio station so bought an FM Expander and installed it myself but got this issue which never was resolved. I can only get 32 degrees from anywhere between 18.5-32 and 18 dregrees at 18.. so basically a minimum and maximum temperature only. This quote looks possibly the reason, but since he is in Brisbane I can't really get much help.

My Air Conditioning is stuck on 18deg and I cannot control it!!

this is a issue for those with the integrated dash only.two problems cause this:

1) there are 6 internal power supplies inside the radio. 3 of which run the front panel. Vdd - +5v Vfl - +29.5v and ACC (+12v) if ANY of these die you lose the radio and the A/C controls.

2) broken of damaged ribbon from the radio to the front panel. this is usually damaged when you (or the previous owner) pulls the radio out for some reason.

despite what you may be told this IS NOT an electrical Issue.

contact me directly if in brisbane if you have one of these or send the unit to me. this is not really a DIY fix UNLESS you have the schematics for the radio itself.

So I figured I'd also get a new headunit (and hopefully when I open the whole front up again could find the issue to the aircon) for the car, bought 2 iso harnesses for easy plug and play and installed them. I removed the Expander and Stock Headunit. The new headunit works fine but the aircon still had the same issue. I made sure that everything was plugged back in securely.

I was happy with the new headunit and can tolerate having 18 or 32 degrees but a new issue came up... My PARKER lights and lights on the dash won't turn off!

so I've removed the negative connecting to the battery and have come here in hope for some help.

Thank You

Maybe when you installed the new radio you have joined the illumination ones up to the 12v supply. Also the aircon problem might be a rubber tube that comes from the dash to the aircon. It sometimes comes out when you pull the dash out. Look for a little vent on the drivers side dash and have a look behind it to see if the hose has come off. That sucks in air to let the climate control work out the cabin temp.

P.S The vent is near the drivers left knee

Thank you for the swift reply! Will check that out in the next few hours

Also I've resolved the Parker Lights issue (embarrased to explain what it was) but I see that it's happened before http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/336033-parker-lights-wont-turn-off/ .lol
