Would this cause the AC fan to slow down unexpectedly, or to vary without reason?

i'm not sure if that is one of the effects of a bad resistor,the problem i'm having is fan speeds 1 and 2 not working

There is a fix for that somewhere in the faq's because I did mine a year or so ago, same symptoms.

I think this is what you are looking for. It affects speeds 1,2 and 3 and 4 is OK. I just replaced mine a couple of weeks ago. It is $49.00 in the Chicago dealer network. I also had another problem occur. The fan would not come on at all at times. Had to tap the housing and then it would, probably indicating a bad connection. Took it all apart cleaned it up etc. No change. After another week of that problem, it started working properly. Go figure.

The answer toyour question was in the FAQs.



There is a resistor assembly mounted on the air duct close to the blower motor. That part has failed. It is used to control fan speeds 1, 2, and 3. Speed 4 is the maximum blower motor speed, so no resistors are involved. Replacing the resistor assembly is something the home mechanic can do. The only tool needed is a Phillips screwdriver. The replacement part costs about US$25.

The blower motor is located just above the passenger's feet. Look at the wires leading away from the blower motor. Just inches away from the blower motor there is an electrical connector located on the air duct. That's the resistor assembly. It is easy to remove and replace.

Replacement is the usual remedy. However, if a spot of localized damage is seen it may be repaired with a soldering gun.

There is a good photo of the blower motor and resistor assembly in the Haynes repair manual, page 3-8. If you don't already have a copy of this book, please get one. It will be money well spent.

a) Move the front pass seat all the way back (for convenience)
b) Remove a harness connector (with 4 wires I think) running into the bottom of the blower motor.
c) Remove the 2 philips screws that hold the blower motor resistor in place.
d) Put new one in, reverse install.

Blower Motor Resistor Part Number: 27150-1E405

You can get it here:

Should be $28 at your local dealer. It's $28 delivered from discount Nissan parts sites.


Edit: If you are handy with a soldering iron, you can try to fix it yourself. See this thread.

Easy fix. Fusible link needs more solder. This easy fix, however, is caveat fixor...

i appreciate everyone's help....i'll try to fix it sometime this week
