I have an 08 G35xS with Nav, Prem and Sport. For the life of me, I cant figure out how to use the fan without the A/C on.. Can anyone help?

thanks

I'm not sure if it's different w/ Nav, but I just push the "A/C" button (the orange light will go off).

 

Yeah, I just hit the "A/C" button and the light turns off. I now have free flowing air coming in from outside which I like on cool days.
You can then hit the "+" or "-" buttons to get the fan to speed up or slow down.

 

When i turn off my car i always make sure to turn the A/C off. But i have noticed that when you turn the A/C off the vents open and are free to outside air. So when there are humid days out i would get in the car after work and it was muggy and humid as hell in the car. So now i turn the A/C off and shut the vents before i get out. But yep, all you got to do is turn it off.

 

Good Point.

To take it one further,I always turn the A/C off about 5 minutes before I get to my destination. This allows enough time for the fan to run and dry out any condensation left in the system from running the A/C.
This avoids the musty mildew smell, coming from the A/C vents, that occurs over time.

 

That's a very good tip Aeson. A lot of people don't understand how AC works. I always turn it off before shutting down. It's probably better for the car, that it's off, when you start it up again too.

 

Doesn't seem to work like that.. When I hit the A/C off the light goes off, and then I try to increase the fan by pressing the +, the A/C light comes back on.. I wonder if I have a problem with the unit..

YOu probably have the auto climate control pitvhing in, press and hold the Reciculation button for about 5sec until the two lights blick then let go that should bring you to manual climate control. Otherwise its your uint....

 

Thanks..
I'll try that and let you know if that does it.

Well, I tried holding the recirc button for a few seconds and they did blink but when I pressed the fan + or fan - button, the air conditioner came on again.. I guess there is something wrong with the unit and at my next service, I'll let them know..

This happens for me to, but to make it work when i have the AC on. i need to hit the A/C button and the light's go off. Then i need to hit +/- button and the AC light will come back on but if you hit the AC button again then click +/- it should work fine....Is this not the way it's suppose to work? I tried it on my friends g37 coupe and it's the same way.

 

^ ya you're right i just checked mine and that is how its workin... sorry sharkman but i was sure mine didnt do that but i guess it does....

 

Yep.. that did it... Doesn't make sense to have to do all that but at least I dont have to give the car to the dealer to fix..

thanks
