I'm new to the forums and i have searched/checked the forums, but have found problems close but not exact/ or resolved.
Anyways, I have a 1999 infiniti Q45t, picked it up about a year ago with 165k miles. Basically, I'm a computer guys. And i don't have much knowledge about cars. Or my car.
Problems:
1. My Air Conditioning doesn't blow cold air. it did when i first got it, but i got it around winter, and it was 75 yesterday and set it to 65 and it blew ambient temp. Any ideas?
2. With the stock CD BOSE player the cd is stuck inside and when i hit the eject button, it makes no effort to eject. haven't used a CD in the car until today. Its almost like the eject button is broken.
3. I think i might need new brakes, when i slow down the steering tends to shake back and forth, i just got new tires on the car. Still shakes.
Thats all i can think of now. I would greatly appropriate any advice.
Thanks
Andy.

Re: Hi Guys! Need some help.
All these abnormalities are normal for all [every make and brand] vehicles. Nothing special about Q that would make them unique to fix.
11 years is right in middle of the most expensive repair slot [8-12 years 120>200k] when many things have exceede their useful design life.
Quality of cast iron grade and oem pads with new antinoise shims.
Find an electronic tech to repair or replace CD.
Find leak in AC and recharge along with replace exhausted components.

Re: Hi Guys! Need some help.
Welcome to the forums, Bitsbac!
If your A/C compressor is working, you should hear it start as soon as you turn on the A/C - Listen for a click in the engine compartment as the compressor clutch engages, followed by a faint whirring as the compressor spins. If you don't hear the compressor start, it may mean that you no longer have enough Freon in the system - There is a safety cutoff switch that helps prevent compressor damage by disabling it if the Freon level gets too low.
You might consider picking up a Q45 factory service manual ("FSM") CD-ROM - It'll get you familiarized with your vehicle. FSMs are available on ebay for less than 10 bucks - probably one of the most cost-effective investments you'll ever make.

Re: Hi Guys! Need some help.
Thanks Guys!
For the AC i had our shop mechanic take a look, he told me to turn it on and he looked under the hood. he unscrewed a little blue cap, and it nothing came out..
a bigger problem i noticed while looking under the hood the radiator has dropped. Looks like some bracket rusted out that held it underneath. Iv took some stripties to hold it up for now until i can find someone to weld a new piece.
