Why did my Nissan Quest blower resistor burn out?
I have a 99 Nissan Quest that I have replaced the blower resistor in order to get the low speeds to work on the fan. The new $34 resistor burns out after 3 days. I suspect there is a short somewhere or something is causing the resistor to overheat. Has anyone found faults related to this?
What are the symptoms of a worn out blower motor?
One of the symptoms of a worn out blower motor is that it can intermittently produce a loud screeching noise when running. How to test a blower motor? If the blower motor doesn’t work at all, the blower motor itself must be tested first. Typically it’s done by measuring the voltage at the blower motor connector when it’s turned on.
Where is the blower motor resistor located on a car?
It’s located inside the dash, often on the opposite side of the steering wheel or inside the engine compartment on the firewall. A blower motor resistor or a blower motor control module is the part that controls the speed of the blower motor.
How does a high speed blower motor work?
The blower motor resistor is what’s responsible for giving you three blower speeds. The resistor block contains three different high resistance coils. Think of these coils like a filament in a light bulb. The coil resistance causes them to heat up, thereby reducing the amount of voltage that can flow to the blower motor.

Why is my Nissan Quest blowing ice cold air?
I just replaced the A/C compressor in my wife’s 2001 Nissan Quest and now I am experiencing the same problem you had with your 1997 Villager, i.e. A/C blowing ice cold air in the rear of the van, outside ambient temp from the front.
What are the symptoms of a failed blower motor resistor?
Blower motor resistor problems. Problems with a blower motor resistor are common in many cars. The most common symptom of a failed blower motor resistor is when the heater fan only runs at high speed and doesn’t work at low speeds.
Why is my Nissan Quest AC not working?
Nissan Quest AC Is Not Working Repair Symptoms. You may not realize there’s a refrigerant leak until the air conditioner stops blowing cold. Refrigerant may slowly leak out of the system over days, weeks or even years. When the compressor fails, the most common symptom is warm air from the vents.
Why is the fan on my Nissan Frontier not working?
Disconnected the motor and brought it into the garage. The fan has a big white fan blade on top and the motor sits in a black plastic case. One philips screw holds the motor in the casing. I carefully pried the motor out of the casing. My fan blade was a bugger to get off. Seized on.
What to do if your car fan wont blow out vents?
Check the blend doors to the vents and see if they move when the switch is turned. If they do not move, then check for a vacuum hose to the blend door actuator. If there is no vacuum on the actuator, then see if the vacuum hose has a leak in it.

How can I tell if my radiator fan is working?
When a radiator fan works it usually makes a whirring sound that is easily noticeable. However, the radiator fan does not always start spinning on ignition. The ECU signals the radiator fan to work at the precise time. So, do not worry if the fan doesn’t immediately start working. Visually check the fan if you don’t hear its noise. 1. Broken Fuse
What should I do if my blower motor is not working?
If the blower motor isn’t working even in the HEAT or VENT mode then that should be looked into first. As a guess I would say there is a power connection problem to the motor. The speed control may be bad, a fuse is blown, or the motor is faulty.
Why does my Nissan Quest not have a defroster?
However, the defroster doesn't work so … The A/C went out on my 2000 Nissan Quest. I took it to the shop and they couldn’t find the problem and recommended not replacing the it because of the age and value of the car.
