Hey guys, so i bought a zed in the the end of noz , great car really happy with it !

 

Car does have a few elec problems though !!

 

1 , cd/dvd player is not working and there is no power going to the red or black ?? I have checked the fuses under bonnet and in drivers footwell and they all seem ok ??

 

2. The heater blower is working and gives out heat but does not blow through the vents into the cockpit , it does blow onto windscreen ?? Is this electrical ??

 

3. Driver door will not lock on key or fob, key just turns it but it does not do anything ??

 

 

Any one any idea what is could be thats going on ?? I have noticed there is 2 heavy duty airiel looking wires loose in pass footwell by the ecu and also ecu is not secured the floor !!

for the driver door you need one of them http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_23&products_id=3717

For the stereo are you using the black on the loom as ground or have your tried a seperate ground ?

 

On my 96zed the ground on my loom doesnt actually ground and ive made a seperate ground to a screw at the back.

cd player and heater blower are not required in Z :)

the heater thing is normal I believe with series one climate control, it blows hot air over the windscreen first. then eventually once its satisfied it will blow it out the vents, you cannot pic and choose where it blows air, that's why people switch to the later climate control modules. but as rolands said you don't need a cd player its a car not a stereo.

Well its all wired into the cars loom yes , i can only assume it did work at some point ! Still doesnt explain why theres no juice to either ign live ??

Its a dvd player aswell though so it will keep the kids quiet on journeys ;)

and btw it illegal to watch dvd at the front while driving :)

did you checked it with ignition on ? :)

 

 

 

Errr yeah!! ;) and the kids dont drive ;)

There should be 3 wires 1 ground black 1 +12 ignition red and one +12 yellow battery

I thought I specifically showed you that as I fitted the chip whilst you were there. It was either that or I may not have managed to tax it before the Post Office shut, plus your mate would never have made it to work on time ;)

 

Did I not leave the ECU bracket in the car for you? If not, drop me your address and I will send one up to you along with the four screws. My own ECU is unbolted at all times, I wouldn't have let you take the car if it was problematic in any way :thumbup1:

 

Both doors locked just fine on the fob when I last alarmed it and went to tax it for you at 4.30pm. Not sure what has happened there. I've had a similar issue on my main Zed a couple of times with a totally different alarm system. Rectified by locking the door from the inside and unlocking/relocking via the fob. Try a few different combinations. It could be that the lock actuator has failed though, which would be really unlucky. To lock the door, whilst open use the inside lock and close the door with the handle up. Don't lock your keys in the car!

 

When the engine is up to temperature, put the heater on 40°C and it will come out of the footwells mainly. Reduce it to around 27°C and you should notice the heat coming out of the centre vents. As has been said though, only Nissan knows where you want the heat!

 

For the stereo, you could take a feed from the cigarette lighter as that definitely has 12v running to it as the wideband was powered from there.

 

One more thing I totally forgot to mention, it's running a PTU from an RB26DETT. No rewiring required, but the plugs are different, hence the electrical tape. It's not ideal, but I've run exactly the same in mine for over a year. At the moment, yours is in the stock position on the driver's side cambelt cover. It's always worth separating the loom section at the temp sensors and relocating the PTU to a cooler place. I would have done it, but I only had about 3.5 hours to prep the car for you including swapping the interior :whistling:

 

Don't forget you can disconnect the AIVs.

 

Let me know how you get on.
