Re: Possible aircon problem?
I would agree with Trevor about sensor issues.
A fair amount of the cars imported from Japan tend to have air con issues which for no reason just "fix" themselves after a period of time or no fault has been found by air con specialists in the system itself even after re-gassing.
Nissan are the main ones with auto climate control, I have found a couple will only go to full heat setting when auto is selected no matter what the temp & will not turn off. 2 skylines have been down to the cabin air temp sensor.
I presume the SVX will have 2 sensors for cabin and outside temp that will send info to some sort of control unit?
Would it be possible to try to clean/dry them out with a hairdryer to test temp?
My thinking is the outside temp should show up in the car & the cabin sensor should then have a high enough reading to kick the air con in if in auto mode?
