Cabin blower not working
Hello. I am very new to this forum (today). The cabin blower suddenly stopped working yesterday. I decided to KISS the problem (keep it simple, stupid) and changed the two blower fuses in the internal fuse box, but it didn't help. I don't see any fuses in the fusebox in the engine compartment. I did a little homework and believe that perhaps the relay or resistor is bad. I don't have the Haynes book for the car so I'm hoping someone can tell me where the relay, etc. is located and how to change it. Thanks!

I'm assuming by now you fixed the problem. If not, then most likely the blower motor resistor is bad (had the same problem with my 04 Maxima)..The Resistor is located behind the glove box and down at the very bottom. You should be able to access it by pulling back the carpet just a bit (you DO NOT have to remove the glove box as I found this out the hard way).
Make sure you get the correct resistor because there are 2 types: one if you have auto temp control and one without. Of course my car has the autotemp & none of the local parts stores carried that one so I had to cough up $10-$15 more for it at the dealership.
Real simple to remove and reinstall, just 2 screws at the bottom holding it in.
below is a pic of the resistor (w/autotemp)
