How much does a Nissan blower motor cost?
I ordered a generic non-OEM brand from Rock Auto for $41. The Nissan brand motor is $148 from Courtesy Parts. I couldn’t justify spending that much more for the Nissan one, especially since I know that the Nissan ones are prone to bearing noises.
Where is the blower motor in the cabin?
Here is what you will see when you remove the lower glove box. The blower motor is housed in the roundish piece of black plastic on right side of this picture, near the bottom. Here is a close up of where the blower motor is located. (In case you were wondering, the black trap door above the blower motor is where the cabin air filters are housed.
How do you install a new blower motor?
Installation is the reverse of removal. Put the new blower motor in and tighten the three screws. It only goes in one way – there is an outlet that will line up with the electrical connector. Pop the electrical connector back into place.
How to check or replace or check the blower motor?
To expand on Jenior’s response, you slide one in, push it to the right side, then slide the second one in. To add to the discussion, and help to get it back on track, I highly recommend installing a pair of filters for anyone who doesn’t have one and checking the condition if you do.
