Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / January 2008Heater fan for Pathfinder not working.. where's the fuse?
I have a Pathfinder 2003. The heater fan is not working. I know where the fuse box is but how do I know which fuse is for what? John > I have a Pathfinder 2003. The heater fan is not working.

On my '02 PF, the fuse is shown as "blower motor 15A". It's next to the fuse puller on the fuse block. If you can't fund it on the diagram, it should be in the owner's manual. If neither of those options work you could test each fuse for continuity or you could inspect each fuse. Don't know if an 03 pathfinder still uses the a blower resistor (or it's gone electronic), but does it work at full speed? If so it may have a failed blower resistor.

If you replace your fuse and find that the fan only works on high, you probably need a new resistor pack. Nissan has a technical service bulletin about this. The TSB even provides a part number for a kit that includes a new resistor pack and a new fan motor. The parts cost about $250 from the dealer and it took me about 20 minutes to put them in. > Don't know if an 03 pathfinder still uses the a blower resistor > (or it's gone electronic), but does it work at full speed?

Seems to be a Nissan thing as it has happened to my friends 93 Maxima, my wife's 98 Altima, and although it hasnt happned to my 98 Sentra, I've verified that it too has a resistor for the blower. All located round about the same location behind or below the glovebox. CD |
