Here's a simple fix... If you have soldering skills, look directly under the fan for a white connector that plugs into the air duct between 2 screws... Unplug this connector and take out the screws, then remove the "grounding resistor," or whatever the hell it's called. Once this is out, pop off the white plastic cover, then reheat the 3 large solder joints and add extra solder to them. Make sure it all flows; no more cold solder joints! This will probably fix your problem.

My fan started acting funny where it would work some of the time, and even then was depending on the mood and temperature. This worked for me... temporarily. It's acting up again and I may just order a new one from Dave B.

There is not a fuse for each specific speed. It does sound like the blower resistor although usually I think you lose all speeds except high but it could just be starting to fail. The part is about $30 and is really easy to replace. I replaced it in my Mother in Law's 2000 Maxima and a friends 2000 Altima.

My blower motor doesn't blow on any setting. I replaced blower motor and still doesn't blow. If setting 4 doesn't use the resistor than what else would be the problem? 2000 gle auto climate control

Thanks

Take the battery and directly connect it to the blower motor. if it works, then the blower's not the problem. If you have auto climate control, then you have a power module instead of a grounding resistor (about $85 instead of about $30).
