So my A/C has been stuck blowing out hot air only for a few weeks. I finally got around to running the diagnostic and it looks to be that I have a faulty air mix door motor. Problem is that I can't seem to locate this part as it seems to have been discontinued. (WTF?!) The part number is 27732-40U01 and is listed as <Maxima Actuator Assy-Air Mix>.

Does anyone know what the differences are between this part and 27732-40U00? I've read that they are both compatible with the digital climate control but don't know if something else is different. My car was mfg in 10/98 so it is above the cutoff of 5/98 for the later part. If anyone can point me to where I can get the 99 version of the part, even better. Thanks for reading.

 

I found this note on www.nisspartzone.com

Thanks for the suggestion jholley. I had already contacted nisspartzone and was informed that they cannot source the part since it has been discontinued.

 

The cutoff date of 5/98 is the end of the 1998 model and the start of the 1999 model.

With the part being discontinued, you don't have a lot of options. I don't know if the dealers have an inventory sharing network or not. Talk to your local dealer and see what he says. Otherwise, you will have to find a car in the junkyard for the motor.

I checked the Infiniti parts listing and it is also discontinued through them.

 

I had the same problem with my 88 Maxima. OUCH!

BEST of Luck!

 

Ask a dealer to check into the Nissan FAST network to see if the part is sitting on some parts shelf at another dealer somewhere. The Infiniti dealer I like in Matthews NC is good about finding impossible to find parts through the FAST network.

Sent from my Z998 using Maxima

 

Thanks CS_AR, I had already contacted my local dealer and asked but was again informed that the part was not available anywhere.

Luckily, I have just been able to source the part from lux97Max and should be taking delivery soon.

Props to you lux97Max.

 

Now that's GOOD News!

CONGRATS!

 

damn so theres no way to get this part unless u get it from a junkyard or from classfields?
