Hey I'm looking for help with my climate control module. when I bought the car the clock was cycling through minutes like they were seconds and had thought that maybe the buttons that change the time were stuck pushed down. I never found a way to fix it and now the hours are doing the same thing, just constantly changing. However when this problem started the controls stopped working. I can press mode and change the direction of where the airflow will come out of, but I cant actually turn my air con on. I opened it up and everything visually looks ok on the board (nothing burnt out) and I don't know of any other ways to fix it. Id preferably not have to buy a new one but if there is no fix I guess ill have to. 

Any advice is welcome

It is a reasonable guess that there is a problem with one or more buttons. If one is stuck on or shorted in some way, it could prevent the other buttons from being registered. I'd be taking the buttons apart and looking for dirt/scorching/etc in the contact pads.

Bump

I’m experiencing the same issue in my GTT. I don’t think any of the buttons are stuck and when this problem first started I was driving during one of the heaviest storms I’ve been in and when I turned on my A/C to defog the windows it happened (first controls and clock not working, then after restarting the car only the clock). 
I suspect some water got into something it shouldn’t have /fried something ?

The rest of the A/C controls are fine and the clock counting up will go away for a few days/weeks then randomly return. Any help as to how to attempt a fix would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sounds like water in somewhere [genius ...I know].......probably go away in the summer, just park it in the hot sun for a few hours.

Otherwise, if you need to do it now, its a strip and dewater/clean.

Bit of a late reply, but I can almost gaurantee that it's none of the above - I and it seems at least 2 others have the exact same issue - I pulled apart my AC unit, and found that it has some form of charcoal substance surrounding the 3 buttons (For whatever reason Nissan decided to put this in) - and the only explanation I have is that it's causing the buttons to corrode/ short or something. I unsoldered the 3 buttons, which caused the clock to stop counting up, and the AC unit to work - super easy and free fix, saving upwards of $400- 600 AUD. I made a little guide, I'll just attach the screenshots of the guide here:

Yeah pretty simple fix if you've got a soldering iron. I personally haven't soldered new buttons on yet - but it's as simple as finding a 2 prong button from any electrical store - for Australia I'll be using just Jaycar.

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
