AC Major Malfunction
Hey everyone! New to the site, bought my first 350z (2003)...
Anyways, I turn on the car today and as I am pulling out of my driveway all of a sudden my AC starts blowing EXTREMELY hard on cold, so I look down to see if I had some how bumped the dial etc... and I see it is on AUTO, so I go ahead and turn the dial to the OFF position. Well, nothing happens and the AC is still blowing extremely hard, I then proceed to turn dials and push buttons until finally I turn the dial to heat and it slows the AC down and blows cold still...? What the heck is wrong with my z?
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Does your car have an aftermarket stereo? You have to unclip the HVAC controls to get there. My guess is the person who owned it before you messed around with it and didn't seat the connector correctly, or they nicked it and there's an intermittent short.

Yes it does, bmyles. The guy I bought it from, for some reason, thought it was necessary to put 4 10in. Alpines in the car , so I'm sure he didn't hook something up exactly right. So onces I pop the bezel ring off and pull that leather covering up, what exactly am I looking for?

Not to sound helpless, but do you know if there are any pictures of what it looks like so I am not just pulling things out?
Also once I find the white ribbon strip that you stated, do I just unplug it and then secure it back in place?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions, still new to the car!
