Recently I have been having an issues turing on with my rear defrost switch/button on the HVAC controls on the center console on my 03 350z.

It has been very touchy when I press it and half the time it can take 10+presses to get it to turn on.

Now it does not turn on at all.

Can anyone point me to a place where I can buy a new switch? Thanks.

i would make sure this is the root of the problem before you go ahead and order a new 1 though...

good luck!

 

Thanks!

It got to the point where the defrost light would only turn on (rear defrost working) when I pressed the corner of the button. So I knew it was having issues.

I found this... which is much cheaper than the $160 I found on a few sites.

I guess I should just swap it out when I change my headunit.

 

Are you sure its the controls or the controller box behind the center console. Mine did this and it was the ribbon cable that went to the controller box not the controls. I'd just hate for you to buy something and it not fix anything.

 

I had the same problem and it turn out to be the ribbon "kinked" up. I straighten it out.

 

Great, I will give that a try first
