Thank you so much for posting this video! It was so very helpful! Several months ago my air conditioner/ heater fan started making an unsettling noise whenever I turned it on. The higher I turned it on the more unsettling the noise became. My gut was mostly telling me and hopeful that something possibly got in the fan from the overflow from the glove compartment (my daughter and her 30 lip gloss and chapsticks, etc...). The other thing of course, was also to check the air filter and air filter compartment.Which I will be commenting on that video of yours which was also a huge help and blessing. So because of your video for the first time ever I removed my fan motor and sure enough, There was a chapstick inside!! I removed the chapstick, re attached the fan motor and turned on the AC/heater and the sound was completely gone! Mystery solved! I saved money by doing it myself. Now we can run the A/C next weekend while visiting AZ. My daughter learned some lessons here and I feel like a million bucks for accomplishing the job. #girlpower 😊

Thank you for being direct and simplifying everything that was done here!

Welcome to the Xterra community

Excellent video Man! I have a Nissan Xterra 2002. I had a "rumbling" sound coming from behind my glove compartment when I put my heater on. And, there was very little force in the fan. I first checked the cabin filter for obstructions. I had to remove the glove compartment to do this. It was full of straw which I cleaned out. Next, I took out the blower motor just as you showed. Sure enough, it was jam packed with straw, including the compartment that the blower is attached to. The fan could not spin! It is obvious to me that mice had been working on building a nest. I was away on vacation and my vehicle sat for 2 weeks. I cleaned out the blower motor and the area behind it. After cleaning out everything, I reassembled the blower motor and put back the glove compartment back in place. Everything works perfectly! Thanks for the video, and for saving me money!

great video. You explained the steps very well.

No filler, no fluff (unlike my Xterra HVAC right now) just the content I needed. Awesome video as always. Thanks!!

The 3 blower motor bolts I had to painfully get out with small vice grips, no socket worked on the head of the bolt?

Thanks for the video! Pulled my cabin air filters out today and ended up dropping acorns on the motor. Watched another video where the guy ripped the whole glove box out and thought there’s GOT to be a better way. This was perfect. Cleaned and oiled the fan while we had it out and now it runs smooth and quiet.

Hey man that was awesome, step by step, I need to replace mine so this is great!

Yaaasssssss! This was an easy fix to a super annoying problem. Fan was super noisy. Was helped by replacing filters, but found a bunch of little pine needles and twigs when I pulled the motor out. It now purrs like a baby kitten. Thank you Ry!

thank you - i will have to try this next to see if anything fell inside - you have a new subscriber!

thanks dude. my wifes 2008 is not working at all. now I got the rundown. I got work to do.

Well done, you are answering some of my questions. You just made a new subscriber. Thanks again. Your videos are very well done, and the images crisp and clear.

Thank you!! I watched your video and was able to replace mine.

Hey I have a question. My 2013 Xterra ac blower changes speeds on all settings. For example it will blow at its proper speed for whatever setting it’s on however every couple of seconds it will slow down for a bit then speed back up. Do you think it would be the resistor?

Thanks for these videos. I almost traded in my xterra. I’m going to try this myself since the mechanics where I live are either unavailable or unprofessional but I’ve been able to follow along in the past. Thanks for that part link as well. Wish me luck !! In a week I’ll let you know how it goes

Thanks a lot for your instruction video, Ry. I had a fan noise that turned out being a piece of a drinking straw. Crazy! I have no idea how that got there. Also, my Xterra had a insulation cover over the fan motor. I had to remove some stubborn clips on the screws to get that out first. I wonder if some models had that, while others didn't.

It worked, Ry. There's no way I would have even considered changing the motor if it wasn't for your video! Also, the motor you recommended on Amazon works great!

Mine blows cold air unless we’re driving down the road. I need heat! We live in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and winter is almost here. We brought it to the dealer and they said they couldn’t find anything wrong with it and said maybe it was air in the lines??? They flushed and bled the system and charged me $250 and it’s still not working. Any thoughts??

Thanks for the video. So the blower motor in my 2010 Frontier has been making an obnoxious ticking noise since a few weeks ago. I replaced my cabin filters and pulled the blower motor out for inspection and it was clean as a whistle. Any idea why it would be making that noise? Thanks for your insight!

This is great. My Nissan X-trail is not so easy. I got a quote of $1300+ labour to get my blower replaced. From my mechanic who charges WAY less than the Nissan dealership. My fan only works if I have my block heater plugged in for hours before or overnight. If I go out for an errand and get back in my X-trail the fan no longer works. It's aggravating when you live in Canada and there are -55 °Celsius (-67°F) wind chill days and I cannot afford this bill. Only replacing the motor and resistor from removing them from the entire assembly is affordable at $95 for both parts is feasible. I know you said not to remove the parts but in this 2005 vehicle I need an affordable option. What do you suggest?

Great video man, was super easy to replace the motor with your help. Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. I can feel slight warm air at the vents with heater on, but no blowing. Not sure what to do now. Obviously the resister comes to mind, but people have said if like one setting functions only, then it's probably resister. All 4 of my settings don't perform, so I don't know.

That's true, its DEFINATLY the resistor when only 1 or 2 are dead on the dial. It COULD be the resistor when none work. The other option is that your switch is dead. I would do resistor next.

I would say check out the issue with the automatic transmission if you're thinking of getting an automatic. Also when you test drive it listen for a high-pitched whining that increases with RPMs this could indicate the secondary timing chain guides have worn out and it's a huge pain to fix but I do have a video on it. I don't however have a video on the transmission cooler bypass issue because I have a manual transmission.

Ry, do you think the bad smell from my vents has anything to do with a dirty blower?

Probably not. It would have to be pretty nasty. I know it sounds funny but just take out the blower, take it away from the truck and smell it. However the smell it likely in the vents themselves. I just bought a smoker car and after replacing everything in there it still smells when I turn on the vents. grrrr

yup, the resistor is an easy fix. But the Gen 2 Xterra is a bit diffrent, OK a lot different. It has it as a credit card slide that is accessed from under the glove compartment and is attached by 2 screws and a power clip. I did that this summer. cost $30

Lol aren’t they gross?! Luckily they are pretty easy in the X to drop out and clean. Gunna keep up on that filter from now on? I know I am.

On my 2009 Xterra, I had quite a surprise when I changed the cabin air filter. It seems that I was traveling with a stowaway who had decided to make his nest just above the cabin air filter. I removed the cowl cover between the windshield and the engine compartment, and I installed a sturdy anti-rodent mesh above the air intake of the ventilation system on the passenger side. I don't understand why, from the start, Nissan did not block access to this opening against the infiltration of harmful little critters. This opening is easily accessible to small rodents, passing through the inside of the fender trim, then through an opening allowing the passage of the antenna cable and the windshield washer hose.
