WHERE EXACTLY is the blower motor resistor?!

kevink619 · 03-24-2010, 09:51 PM

Can someone please tell me where the blower motor resistor is located on a 2005 Nissan Titan? I have taken apart the right side of the dash and can't find it to save my life.

I've located what I think is the VBC, but can't find the resistor. The dealer says that the problem is most likely the resistor, but I can't find it! Does the 2005 Titan even have a resistor - or is everything contained in the VBC?!

The part on the left is what I can locate on my Titan. The part on the right is what the dealer insisted I buy.

Thanks,

Kevin

I was about to go look for mine as well. I need to order the part so i can get my fan back to working normal. I didn't know there were two different parts. I thought it was the one with the fins that needs changed out.

Directly under the glovebox you will see the plug. Its either a 3 or 5 fin resistor. There is a Nissan bulletin which updates to the new 5 fin.

I just looked at mine and unless i'm blind I don't have that part under there anywhere. I have the same thing as the other guy posted in the thread under this.

I Also have this. This clicks when you turn on and off the fan switch so i assume it has something to do with it. But neither part has a plug like the one listed as the part to buy. This is on my 06 le with dual climate control if that matters.

Had to do this with my g/f's old Chevy Cavalier and my '99 Sentra. The resistor card is usually near the motor itself. Not sure on the T as I haven't had to take mine apart, but in your pictures titanmike, the first picture looks like a 10 amp resistor that most likely has nothing to do with the blower motor and the second picture is of a relay that probably controls the on off function of the blower system. neither of these is what you are looking for and if they work I would suggest you leave them alone.

Check out this link as it has an exploded diagram of parts placements: 270 Heater & Blower Unit :: Body Electrical :: Genuine Nissan Parts :: Titan Parts (A60) 2004-2010 :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com

This piece is probably mounted to the firewall in a housing to protect it.

I looked again and the parts that its showing do not look the same as what i actually have behind the glove box.

I am having the same problem the dealer gave me the card looking thing to the right and all i can find is the componet on the left
