Nissan A/C & Heater Blower Motor Fan Replacement 

I was quoted about $800 to replace Blower motor resistor and blower motor of a 2012 Nissan Versa, thanks to this video I was able to do it myself for under $100 and about an hour labor. Note: pinch side of connector to remove

The easiest blower motor replace ever. I fotnitnpnline on March but i put it off because they are sometimes too difficult. $45 online, zero labor and 30 minutes of my time. Great Video

I have a Nissan Versa Hatchback.. last night my heat cut out and it was 12° out and today with this video got it running.. Thank you!

I just fixed my blower motor on my 2006 titan. Before the fix it seldomly worked at all. I removed the blower, unscrewed the torx head from the blower motor bracket and removed the motor with the fan still attached. I used snips to cut a access hole by snipping out the air vent on the side of the motor. I attached sandpaper to a screw driver, inserted it inside the motor and turned the fan while I scuffed the spot where the brushes make their contact. Once that contact zone was as shiny as a new penny and I blew the dust out and I reassembled the motor into the bracket . I reinstalled the blower motor and it worked near perfect. I am in hawaii so I saved a few bucks and a long wait time

You are officially my hero! 2011 Nissan Cube glovebox actually had 4 top screws, 3 bottom screws, and 2 inside screws. Once the glovebox was out, a few taps on the blower fan (I recognized it from your video) and the fan started to blow! Yahoo! You are magical!

great video to help HOWEVER after getting the one screw off with an 8mm socket I had GREAT difficulty getting the fan itself twisted loose (I'm 72 and don't have the stength of my youth ) SOLUTION - there is a broad section on the black part of the motor housing. Fit a 10" adjustable spanner onto this and tighten on to it. The fit 1/2" socket extention thru the hole at the other end of the spanner and twist about 30 degrees clockwise - and SUCCESS! PS even after this I found the 2 pin connector very hard to get off, but very easy to get back on. Reply

Thanks for showing us this. I wish you'd shown at the first how it wasn't working or was making noise or whatever. I have a Nissan Armada and it is making loud noise, so I am thinking that there could be debris in it (maybe). Then, if not, it looks like I will have to replace it. Thanks for all you did with this video. Makes me realize that I can do it too.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 You are super star my blower is on driver side which is so hard to get in there I just find it and touch the cable. And it boom start working. Thank you so much. 😊

Thank you for this video! I had no idea where the blower was because so many people told me it was on the driver side and I had to remove the gas and brake pedal to get to it. Maybe that was on the European model, but here in the USA it is on the passenger side and it was super quick to remove and inspect. I'll be replacing mine in the next day or so without paying labor. For the moment I added some oil to extend the motor a couple of days till the replacement gets here.

Bro I tapped it and it worked ❤ you bought me some time

This video was right to the point. Ninja tip was nice as well.

thanks for this vid! had a rattle from a stick wedged in there by a local woodrat, you saved me $120 since i didnt have to take it in. "teach a man to fish" thanks again.

Would replacing this be the problem if the fan air and nothing is working no air of any kind hot or cold or just air ?

All right you guys, I'm about to make the same repair on my truck :-)

What year nissan versa is this? I got 2013.. still figuring out where i can find the blower motor.

Thanks for the ninja move it worked!!!!

thank you for showing us the little tab that holds it in! That was the ticket

My fan motor in my 2009 Nissan Cube stopped working yesterday. I've already taken out my glove compartment before to change the interior air filter, so that was a snap to do. I found the blower motor. Tried hitting it (ninja repair trick) but I didn't hear anything so I assumed that didn't do the trick. Unplugged it and using a tester I saw that power was going to the motor. Motor came out super easy (no bracket to move like in your video). Did the test on the battery and sure enough blower motor roared to life. I was actually bummed out as I assumed I had a dead blower motor and therefore I'd have to keep troubleshooting and maybe change the fan resistor. I put the motor back in and plugged in the power wire. I noticed I was feeling some air being blown out of the vents. Sure enough, when I cranked it up to 4, it was working perfectly fine! Reinstalled the glove box and I'm good to go! Maybe hitting it worked and I just didn't hear the motor (it was still installed at the time). Who knows.... all I know is I'm glad to have it running again and I didn't have to pay my local Nissan dealer $170 just to diagnose the problem (That's what they wanted when I checked with them yesterday). Thanks for the vid.

Thank you your video was very helpful. I had a dead mouse inside my fan motor. I took fan out got rid of the dead mouse now all is good

Thanks! I used the ninja tip and simply hit it and the ac came right back on!

Your ninja tipped work I have a Nissan Rogue 2013 with the fan still doesn't sound the same hopefully the ninja tip works for awhile

I have a 2011 Rogue. Is is the same way or is the motor located in a different place?

Where is the blower fan located in a 2017 Nissan Altima? I was told at the dealership they would have to remove the entire dashboard and middle console to replace it. They replaced the blower filter and the noise is 2x louder than it was before. What is your opinion?

Question is it in the same place on a 2016 versa note ?

Is this the same on a 2011 Sentra?

Can I do this with a 2017 nissan micra? My fan should be behind the glovebox?

Whay year models are covered by glovebox route fan replacement? I have a 2013 nissan versa. Other Videos indicate you gotta take out gas/brake pedal assembies etc. on drivers side

Before you guys click the Link in the description box and buy a new fan. Fist turn your fan on HIGH. Go under the Dashboard where the fan is located. Knock or Tap on the fan. If the fan starts you know it is going out. Try this first though. Good Luck you guys!

Did you need to replace the Resistor too?

good morning kindly help I have a Nissan tiida my AC Blower has stopped working checked all the fuses nothing has blown so I don't know what the cause is

i have a 2020 rouge nissan can i do the sane to replace it i was told i needed to remove everything even the break paddles

Do you know if there is a separate rear blower motor? My front A/C works, but not the rear.

Does this works for 2018 Nissan Rogue

Yow bro that part about hitting the fan works for me

How can you tell if it's the resistor or the fan motor? Do you just replace both?

For almost a year my 2009 Titan, fan would only work on "high" no matter what position I set Fan speed dial, it's on "high" except "off" is still "off"... but this morning, our fist winter freeze in central TX, I just hear a relay click - but no fan. Hope it's not a Nissan electricalproblrm again...at 181,000 already have no cruise control, problems with trailer light on built in harness, fast blink on right signal though all bulbs are good, etc... Happy this looks easy enough - reminds me of putting a salvage fan into a Ford Escort years ago: also through glove box, which worked well. . Hope this is my only problem & I won't have to hot-wire the fan (& add a toggle switch, from the lighter socket or something ignorant), -- like I've had to jump off the vehicle's tail lights to make trailer socket work again! I'll Ck fuses first, but I bet if it's some computer module or something it'll be $350 like it was when headlights failed on my cop car crown Vic: had to hot wire from the spotlight switch on the window post that time, or pend $350! Only got the recall notice on that one AFTER I sold the Vic! Thanks for posting. I hate to spend money & I think I can handle this repair !

Question? One person commented that theirs was a 2011...mine is a 2010 and every video I've seen shoes the fan motor on the left side and they are taking out 1500 parts including taking the gas and brake pedal assemblies out. Any direction on whether or not all models are this way. Mine is a 2010 Rogue SL

good video.Im using sylphy 2012 model can u advice where the location of blower.Thank you

Good video or you can just got 1:18 where he gives you the "Ninja Tip" and just bang the blower motor. After watching about 15 videos and replacing my blower motor resistor due to a the fan suddenly shutting off, then coming back on, and then off at random times--NO ONE ELSE SUGGESTED TAPPING THE BLOWER MOTOR... Went out to my Frontier, couple easy taps on bottom of blower motor and BOOM! it is working. If it starts to fail again, at least now I know that it is the blower motor and not the resistor and not the switch. Thanks Ninja Master!

Where is the relay that makes the blower motor work located in the car

awesome hitting the motor few times works great

What year model is this?

Do you have video how to replace blower in rear ac?

What’s your opinion on that ?

Got a question? I have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder sl and I started to hear noises when I have the heat on and raise the speed of the of the fan. Mine works just annoying loud noises.

Perfect information in short time.

I serviced my motor and found a fault with the base of the motor collecting water and at the same time I replaced the resistor which was failed with a 10 dollar PWM continuosy variable controller - the motor can be serviced and the bearings oiled and the brushes checked so you dont need to put in a new one, See my site for this clip

This is a piece of cake on a lefthand drive - more complicated on a righthand drive!

Does this make the ac blow cold air again? Or do i have a different issue?

Thank you thank you 😊 awesome 👏 this old lady believes she can do this! Especially on a budget

how do you determine whether it's blower motor or blower resistor?

Nice

This doesn't work for a 2026 because the black part is facing left instead of right..which means you have to open the driver side panel

Blowing hard and good that’s the way I like it

What model?

Show how 2 replace a filter of it or clean

just vacuumed a mouse nest out of my 2015 versa blower motor.. what a nightmare it is being installed on the driver side for that year.

Is This A Nissan Sentra 2008

Where is the expansion value? Thanks

Where i can get one

Righty tighty thanks man.. I mean righty Loosey.

I have 2015 Nissan Versa my A/C went out to this show in here Las Vegas. They put a resistor in my car. Start blow cold air until turn it off to get gas. They charged me $240.00. So then I went back to the show. He’s that it possible is wouldn’t work. So I said that just wasted my $240. He’s no you need a resistor anyway. Then he said I need A/C motor

When I tried this it started to spark

Mine sounds like it's broke.

No air at all and no sound

It's not RIGHT HAND DRIVE!!!!
