Heater blower switch fix on a Nissan micra 

If you need to do this job on a K11 Micra as I did this video is very useful however you do not need to take off any panelling to access the 'resistor pack'. It is located almost in plain view under the 'passenger' footwell next to the heater motor. Two 8mm bolts hold it in place, undoe them slide the old pack out, unclip the wires (press the plastic retainer down as you do), replace with the new one. Brand new ones cost about £12 from ebay, they are almost exactly half as long as the original but this worked perfectly in mine even though I was dubious as it didn't have the same depth/length as the original. Thanks very much to bunnybr for the above vid, great if you have to get the glove box out for other jobs on a k11 as they have the same hinges. Hope this post helps a few of you with the older Micra's.

Thanks. Very useful. Take into account that for LHD cars, the control unit remains in the left side, so, you have to access from the steering wheel side. Regards,

Hi Gordon, my husband has sorted out my heater really quickly this afternoon, without any complications or setbacks, thanks to your really helpful video and its advice. Now, he says, all I have to do now is wrap up the old pack in Christmas paper and put it under the tree...apparently sorting my heater was my Christmas present...!! (Well, that's what he says but he might be kidding me...!) Anyway, thank you very much for your very valuable contribution to my Christmas pressie - and a very Happy Christmas and New Year to you!

Thanks Gordon, this was really helpful. Managed to fix on a 2010 Micra - it would of took me much longer to find the location of the resistor unit without your video. Well done.

Gordon that was exceptionally helpful and I really appreciate it thank you! Dealer quoted me £120 to fix this, I bought a new part from eBay for £19.99 and followed your guide to the letter and the jobs a goodun: couldn't make it through the winter with the blower the way it was. Really helpful and appreciated! Russell from Fife

Dear Gordon, thank you for your instructive video. I'm writing this because to me the problem was somewhere else... In fact the resistor pack was fine but the blower motor wasn't working at all. I own a k12 micra (left side drive) but electronics are similar to yours (in fact they are the same, the resistor pack can be reached under the steering wheel with little hassle). Following your instructions I was able to disassemble the glove compartment and by doing so I reached the blower cables. As soon as I moved the electrical connector the motor came to life again. The connector is flawed and the two pins often become loose interrupting the current passage. I'm still wondering how to permanently solve this (the connector is covered by a plastic shell in my version and I didn't try to remove it because I was afraid to damage something). I just wanted to share this solution so that everybody can benefit. Again thank you a lot, you literally saved my day Ho una micra k12 e un problema simile a quanto mostrato. Nel mio caso la soluzione non é stata cambiare il pacco resistenze (che nella versione con guida a sinistra é raggiungibile da sotto lo sterzo visto che le scocche sono specchiate) poiché non andava alcuna velocità, ma toccare i cavi di alimentazione della ventola. Smontando il vano porta oggetti si puó raggiungere il motore della ventola e notare come il connettore sia inidoneo a far fare un buon contatto ai pioli di alimentazione. É bastato spostare i cavi (uno rosso e uno blu) per ripristinare il contatto. Non é una soluzione definitiva ma il connettore vero e proprio é coperto da una placca in plastica e non mi sono fidato a rimuoverla per paura di rompere qualcosa.

thanks very much. this was really useful as I had the exact same issue and didn't know it would be such a straight forward job,

Thanks for the advice. Bought the part from eBay and it's working perfectly.

This is awesome.. I already removed the radio and the central panel and was really at lost as to how to unplug the controls of the heater. But it turns out infected I don't have to.

Very useful, thanks, I had 1/2 the dash out before I found your video pointing me to the right location!

i have this problem now and im gonna use your tutorial to repair it.. thanks that you made a tut for it

Brilliant. Clear, to the point and helpful. Many thanks.

Hi ! Thanks for that !! I have a german car ( steering wheel on left side ) So i had not to fix of the box, its under the steering wheel. But it was easy too.

really helpful. please keep posting more videos.

My micra k12 has the following problem, it works also at 0, but at low speed. Is the resistor faulty? Or do i need to look somewhere else? Thanks in advance

hi there, really appreciate we just bought a 2001 micra very nice car all heater fan speeds except the fastest one not working the window defrost not working very well would this be due to this also? thanks very much

thanks man very helpful ,could you please tell me what i have to ask to get the right part ,what part number or name?

Thank you so much!

Hi, I have the same problem, fan starts working on 4th position but there is no air blowing in to the cabin. Can be something stucked on the vent pipes?

Thanks for post this. I now have a fixed car and a very smug feeling. £13 off Ebay.

Hi, great video How to find and change the fuel filter? Thanks.

hello, how can i remove the panel for the heater. i mean this unit which you use to controll the temperature and the Speed for Airflow. Kind regards from Germany

looking access to my rear heater window switch ... 7:33 looks good to me :)

it don't work it work sometimes and then it doesn't work at all

have this problem too, i change the resistor pack and it didnt work, , was driving home over speed bumps on the road with the fan at the on position and it came on again, sadly this didnt last and next time i started the car it didnt work again, making me believe it could be a bad wiring connection, any ideas people???

none of the settings are working for me, not 1/2/3/4 or hot or cold, none are working. Does anyone know if this will still solve the problem? :) thank you

I got nissian micra and the interior fan stopped work on all speeds any ideas.

Thanks for this vid mate, helpful 1

Question: If i don't have the A/C button, does that mean i don't have AC? It only blow hot air

Very useful. Thanks mate!...

This didn't work for me :( the blower stopped working all together. Must be the fan it's self. Cheers for the vid though

Does this car having Air Condition??

Thanks - Do you know that part number ? Having difficulty locating that part

thank you!
