Hey 300zx enthusiasts and owners,

I own a 90 2+2 300zx. I bought it without Air-Condition/Climate Control.
Goal: Get my blower to at least work.

Checklist:
Fuses in bay: All good
Fuses in kick panel: All good
I have a AC Compressor but its not running on the belt. (Friend that owns a 2+0 runs compressor without belt but blower still works.)

Symptoms:
-Pod Shows no display

Questions:
Where do i begin?

1. Remove "beginner" sticker from hatch.
Srsly. the car doesn't appreciate it. :p

2. Fuses. Check all your fuses and make sure they aren't blown.

I'd try and get a known good control panel to troubleshoot with. Do the buttons do anything?

If the buttons work, the lights may be out. Here's a good write-up on how to replace the bulbs:
