Ive searched for this issue, but can't do much from a phone..ive noticed in the year or so that ive had this car, it doesn't blow ac as hard as the other 96 we have..I thought it was just because it had manual climate control while this one has auto. I can verify the door motor switches just fine from the face blowout to the feet and defrost. It just doesn't blow hard at all! Today it really didnt feel like it put out much at all. Is it time for a new blower motor? Or is there something else I can try? I can also verify that ut changes speeds by listening to it. It sounds weak, but does change speeds. Thanks in advance!

 

Check/remove the screen that hides behind the center vents.

Some people have noticed that clogs over time and it's not a vital piece.

 

what year? i have a 95 with 270,000 on it and blows slower but still cold. luckily, i have 2 cars and drive the other one some days and the max on weekends.

 

It's a 96 with 602K. Alright ill check that, thank you!

 

Kilometers or miles?!

 

That's miles!
It being such high mileage makes me baby it that much more. We have another 96 Maxima that only has 180k. It gives me faith that it has a long life to live!

 

I think you may have the highest reported mileage.
Original engine and transmission?
Much respect.

 

If the air flow is low, It could be 3 things.
1) The armature bushings for the blower motor could be dry and binding. You could try the blower motor from your other car as a test.
2) The a/c evaporator core is getting plugged up.
3) the screen in the ducts that Fakie mentioned could be plugged.

 

my buddy's got a 96 with 547,000 on it, runs perfect. all stock everything. i guess my 270,000 mile max has got a lot to look forward to.

 

Holy cow... 602k miles and I'm only at 137k.. Lol

 

Manual climate control has a blower resistor, auto has an amplifier. Resistor fails and runs high only. Amplifier fails and runs low speed only.

 

That 602K was not a typo? Damn that's impressive.

 

Respect indeed. 602k?! Hail to the chief....

Came to report the resistor, and was taught knowledge by asand1 above, thank you!
