Cooled Cupholders

[Ssmat]

I have a new QX and have seen frost in the cupholders when driving it before, but I don't know how to turn them on, and they don't get cold now.

 

[Jack M]

Do you have push buttons below your switches?
If so those are circuit breakers.

 

[Ssmat]

No, I don't have any push buttons. Only the touch screens.

 

[Jack M]

Are there any breakers anywhere you can find?

 

[Ssmat]

I believe under the helm storage, you can access some. Are you saying they are just on all the time, or to check a breaker? I was more curious if they had a way to turn them on and off.

 

[Jack M]

I'm sure there is way to turn them on/off . But I don't have them. Have you asked your dealer?

 

[Ssmat]

Thank you. Yes, I did, and he was not sure.

There is one other member on the forum that I am aware of that has a ,new QX .Vikings. I dont know if he has the cooled cup holders ,but you could send him a pm . Perhaps he can help

 

[Ssmat]

Thanks, I will try calling Bennington.

 

[Jack M]

Let us know what you find out .
I think you are the first member with this question.

 

[Ssmat]

I called and left a message. I am going to check the breakers tonight. I noticed my horn didn't work either, and maybe it's all the same one, and they are just on all of the time.

 

[Jack M]

Its possible they ( cup holders ,horn etc) are all on the same circuit.

Update on the cooled cupholders. The last 2 times I have been on the boat, they have been on and working. I still have no clue whether they can be turned on or if they are just working all the time.

I was interested in how these work, and found the attached info. As for the switch, the following was suggested:

• Digital Displays (Glass Dash): On premium trims, switching is routed through the central Garmin or Simrad touchscreen. Controls are located within the digital menus under the "Accessories" or "Comfort" tabs.

• Rim-Mounted Controls: Some OEM units bypass helm wiring altogether, utilizing a flush-mounted, waterproof rubber power button built directly into the stainless steel bezel of the cupholder.

• Generic ACC Switches: On models utilizing traditional switch panels, factory installs are often routed to a standard "ACC" (Accessory) rocker switch.
