My A/C fan just stopped on my '01 Pathfinder. After it stopped I turned the
unit off, drove for a while and got the fan to come back on for a brief while
before stopping completely..in fact I got it to blow at max before it stopped
again. The air was always cold. I am a total beginner when working on cars
but feel the solution is probably simple. Maybe the blower wore out or it's
something electrical... a fuse or a switch...where should I look? Your help
is most appreciated.

Hello,

Does the blower only work on high now? If so, then the blower motor
resistor located in the blower motor case behind the glove box has gone bad.

it does not work at all now. it stopped, I got it to go once--when it blew
cold and all speeds including high--then stopped again never to restart.

I have had the blower motor speed resistor circuit board go defective.

It is located in the air flow path in the heater duct. After a number of
years it wears out, and has to be replaced.
