I just recently purchased a 1999 infinity I30 with 36000 miles on it. I got it cheap becasue of several reasons. The blower didnt work. dash light out. Ash tray ripped out. broke wood paneling around it. automatic trucnk openenr doesnt work. no heat. To name a few.
The deal er attempted to fix the blower by installing a new blower, but now all it does is blow cold air. it doenst blow from the front blowers just the top and bottom. i tried the heat and i have noe heat. that night i found out the dash didnt work.
all these problems but the engine is in great condition.
ok are these fixes easy, it does it get messy because its electrical. the dealer claims he will fix it so i am broinging it back again so he can finish the job.
Radio works fine, other ligths light up but the dash is out. i hear the click for the hood but it sstill doesnt open. where can i get a cheap replacemt for the wood paneling - i check junk yards and theyt laugh at me saying they wouldnt have that car yet?
i need an ashtry and the arm rest cupholder the owners manual.
another question, does it come with a full size spear, because mine did not. it came with a donut. does it come with a 6 cd changer?where can i get a spear key remote for cheap, they only gave me one
i need infinity mats where can i get those for cheap?
i think that covers it sorry for the typos but im exhausted from haggling with the dealer and just found this site. Please help me thanks

Probably a broken air mix door or servo controlling it. The system (if it's like the Q and my truck) work like this from the right side to the center. Air comes in from cowl vent (or inside if in recirc.) - then through the A/C evaporator - then either through or over the heater coil according to how that door is set - then into another box that routes air up and down for the defrost and "foot" vents - or out the center vents - or both. The dealer should be able to fix it...

eBay for the radio wood trim and ashtray. there is one up on there every few weeks.
first thing you need to do is get the service manual. I assume since you bought this thing in slightly rough condition, you are mechanically inclined. if so, the service manual will give you step by step instructions to find out the problem with your HVAC system. You might even be able to use the troubleshooter built into the HVAC controller to narrow down the problem, if it is electrical.
spare remotes on ebay.
check fuses first for dash, then take out the cluster and replace the burnt out bulbs. could also be the dimmer, check manual for official troubleshooting.
