This 2010 Sentra was brought in due to no heater blower operation. Video illustrates testing the blower circuit and then replacing the blower motor.

I agree! What a stupid setup for the cabin filter. Glad you were able to replace the blower motor the way you did. Vehicles are not getting any easier to work on! Nice job!

Quick note for those having trouble getting rhe bcm connectors out (especially the black connector). If you can get two connections out it will give enough slack you can tuck it up into the dash and pull the motor out underneath. Its a little bit of a balancing act but it can save your fingers. Thank you for the video! This was the perfect step by step. Motor is all good now!

The only thing I can think of is a plugged cabin filter, If all the controls are set to maximum airflow. Has the heater ever been worked on before? If so maybe something was not put back together correctly.

@PhillipBailey3 жыл бұрын
It's like this on pretty much everything today. Engineered to be cheap to build and often don't consider what it will cost the consumer for common repairs. I agree that some things are common sense. For example having to remove an entire front bumper and grill to replace a headlight bulb is just bad engineering. Unless it has HID lights typical bulbs last 3000 hours. They are going to need to be replaced at some time. Starters, alternators, heater blower, thermostats, drive belts, and bulbs should all be simple to replace. Oh well keeps me employed...

@@PhillipBailey This was very helpful to replace the fan. you took out all of the guess work. But I have replaced the blower motor, resistor, fuses are good and I checked the relays. Everything seems to be in working order. But the blower still isn't working. Might you have any other ideas. The only thing I didn't replace is the switch itself
@PhillipBailey3 жыл бұрын
@@christophergreen30 do you have power to both fuses 10 and 11 with the key on? You should have power at the blower motor yellow wire with key on. The resistor supplies the ground. It's not really a resistor it's a transistor. If you unplug the resistor (transistor) and jump the red to black the fan should run on high. There is no Switch that you can change it's part of the control assembly. Check these things and get back to me if you can't figure it out.

@PhillipBailey Жыл бұрын
If you disconnect the battery prior to repairs you should not set any codes. Codes will set if you turn on the ignition with the accelerator pedal disconnected. After cycling the key off to on with the pedal reconnected the codes should go to history but the MIL may remain on. It should run fine though and any OBD 2 reader should be able to clear the codes. You may also be able to clear the codes by disconnecting the battery cable for several minutes as well.

Now I'm at the clevis. Which way do I turn the jam nut? I'm using a screwdriver to kind of "hold" it in place, and an adjustable crescent wrench, and I assumed I would be turning the jam nut counter-clockwise, but it won't budge. I gave up and tried clockwise; still won't budge. I'm probably too weak. 😫
@SarahPoulin Жыл бұрын
I just saw another video. Didn't show which way to the. The jam nut, but I think I want to turn it clockwise because you have to turn the clevis counter-clockwise. So turning the jam nut clockwise will move it AWAY, thus leaving room to get the clevis off?
@PhillipBailey Жыл бұрын
It's normal right hand thread just tight. First law of mechanics: right to tight, left to loosen.
@SarahPoulin Жыл бұрын
@@PhillipBaileyes, I always remember "lefty loosey; righty tighty" 😅 So that's why I initially was turning the nut counter-clockwise (left) to loosen. But the clevis part needs to come off, so the nut needs to go farther onto the bolt, thus "tighten" thus to the right (clockwise) in order to make room to turn the clevis to the left (loosen). So the nut turns right, the clevis turns left. And it took all my strength to loosen it. I had to get a long screwdriver and jam it behind the long metal post thing underneath so I could use both my hands on a longer crescent wrench, and the reef to the right as hard as I could. And it loosened.

He's removing lots from stuff than I did. But when I put it all back together, no cruise control and air bag light stays on. Hardest part are those damn connectors. Don't need cruise control but air bags would be nice. Anyways it lasted three weeks. Yanked it our again. A pack rat packed a hot dog wiener into it. The same rat or his buddy stuck another hot dog in the glove box. This time shook black pepper all over to keep the pack rat out. It works. Careful with the wires and this time air bag okay.

The brake pedal that nut is locking. I used a 17mm and a 10 inch Cresent. The cabin air filter probably wasn't ever changed(in 13 years) had the Nissan wording. Leaves and dirt. Change that while the pedal assembly is out. Yeah, that is a dumbass design. Took me about 2 1/2 hours including going to the parts store for the filter. Blows great now. My man...
