auto climate control pissin me off

first off..before modding my climate control..(leds) i noticed that between 65 and 84 degrees it is cold..the only way to make it warm is to put it on 85 which is sometimes too hot?anyone else have this problem

now that ive decided to put the leds in one of the bulbs only lights up when the ignition is switched on and the lights are all off and when i turn the lights on it goes out...the others work normal..i cant figure out the problem...it seems to be wired right!...

any insight would help...thanks

Your climate control isn't working correctly. Might be a faulty sensor causing it. You might want Nissan to trouble shoot the system or see if you can find out how to get into the system to trouble shoot it yourself.

That plastic hose is used to route cabin air to a temp sensor. That could very well be causing your temperature control issue.

When you put it on 85 does the fan speed go to full (4)? When it's under 85 does the fan speed stay between the speeds of 1-3? Might be: http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...2&postcount=31

Take the Digital Climate contorl a part, and then put it back together, It happened to me before and by doing that it got fixed. Don't ask me how?

+1 on the taking it apart and putting it together again. Some connections may not be seated well and causing your mishap. Also, wire up the led's to a constant 12V source. I think I ran a wire down to the cig lighter, or security light, i forget.

i didnt do it that way..i used the original thing that holds the bulbs and ran the lead through it like the factory one and kept the resistor on the inside...as far as the climate problem ..i took it apart a few times....same thing!
