None of the radio/thermostat buttons work on my G35

[Syringer]

Took a drive for lunch today and realized that basically none of my buttons were functional. The navigation buttons still work, so basically everything below that here are not working:

So basically I'm unable to change the temp settings (it's defaulting to what it was as I turned the car off), or control the radio.

The steering wheel radio buttons still work though, so I can control it that way.

Also, none of the LEDs light up at all, so it looks like it's just disconnected somehow? Any tips?

Fuse?

I had the radio in my G35 "die" before. It was playing music then started to fade out both acoustically and visually. Nothing worked, so I pulled over, turned the car off and turned it back on. Magicly it worked and has never done it again.

There are two fuse boxes, one on the left side of the driver side foot well(under the dead pedal in mine) and one near the battery under the hood, may want to check both.


Edit: Turns out this is a common issue with the older G35s, http://g35driver.com/forums/g35-coupe-v35-2003-07/361860-help-center-console-dead.html (one of many threads I found) and the usual suggestion is to replace the ac controller and radio with after market parts. Just from looking at the photo I assume you have an 03-04 with the BOSE radio.

Sounds more like a connector became disconnected.

sounds more like a bad solder joint.

Fuse?

Best place to start. If its just a bad fuse it's easy to check and cheap to fix. If you replace the fuse and it blows again or all your fuses are still good you've got a different problem and will most likely be much harder to fix.
