2000 maxima autoclimate problem

Hey whats up, i did a nice install on a 2000 maxima. It was a clifford matrix 3.5 RS SST. Everything works great remote starts and everything works except the auto climate control, the guy says that the blower does not work unless he turns the key to the ON position, then the fans start blowing air. I could not find the First accessory wire, so i ended up using the Second accessory wire on the maxima. Im assuming thats what it is, but im not really 100% sure. I only used one accessory and there is two listed so should i continue to look for the first accessory wire and hook up acessory 1 and 2 ? Or should it be fine with only one acessory?

you are definately missing either an ignition or an accessory wire. Go straight to the ignition switch by pulling off the steering column and test all of the wires at the switch. Basically, if it goes to 12v with the key on, and does NOT drop to 0v when you crank it, its ignition. If it DOES drop to 0v, its an accessory. HTH KennyKenny

weird, my directechs doesnt list a second ignition. But it lists Two acessorys. It lists acessory AS RED / YELLOW and WHITE/ blue as second acessory. So if there truly is TWO ignitions, that is probably where i got messed up. So thats probably where i got messed up.  Can anyone confirm this ?

Absolutely that's what it is. The second accessory wire turns on the radio, and isn't necessary for remote start. On those cars, I usually do it like this: Remove steering column shroud. If you look on the backside of the ignition switch, you can see the six-wire plug with heavy wires in it.......you can pop off the little white plastic cap, and you'll be able to see the exact size and color of the wires very easily and clearly. Then, in the bundle of wires coming down the column, find the same color/size wire, and of course test it to make sure you got the right one.

test your wires. i noticed that directsheets list their ignition as ACC to make it a mandatory connection, but as chris said, test all your wires.
