Blower Motor Replacement 2014 Nissan Versa Note

[@davidd8411]

TIPS- if necessary you can turn the steering wheel to free up some space to pull the pedal assembly out. It allows the swivel joint to one side vs the other. Also, a long extension can be used to remove the top right but that isn’t easily accessed like the others. Happy Repairs everyone!!!

[@davidd8411]

Top right Bolt

[@mistakengod1208]

Thanks david. I wish I had seen this about an hour ago.

[@emmcee476]

The shaft will slide down easy by hand if disconnected at the top joint. Then the pedal assembly comes out with plenty of room

[@jasonbay13]

@@emmcee476 except the shaft is stuck to the steering box, a sledge didnt break it loose, yes i removed the bolt holding it on. the brake assembly will not come out. in the process of fully disassembling the dash now.

[@itsmeyouknowmeremember3945]

Thank you for the straight forward approach on fixing this issue. Here I go Wrench 1st.

[@Stockbadger]

Appreciate the video but it’s not as simple as you made it look. I would suggested show all step to get this done.

[@JoshChandler]

this is exactly what i was thinking lol

[@jasonbay13]

he cut out the part that made magic happen (hours of off-screen language), removing the brake assembly.

[@ericwix29]

What he doesn't show you is that you have to pull the battery and pull the brake booster outside. Then inside you have to disconnect the steering rod. Then disconnect wiring harnesses from brake pedal bracket. Just some things he left out.

[@billyjack5957]

No you don't have to pull the booster, but if it's your first time you might have to pull more. It's a more advanced job for sure.

[@emmcee476]

Absolutely nothing has to be done under the hood. All the work is under the dash drivers side

[@thomasleach1284]

I’m a Nissan certified tech. No you don’t. Not even all data calls for that

[@AGhostRiderR]

Definitely leaving out a lot of missing steps😓

[@JoshSolansky]

@@billyjack5957idk about advance buh fosho not a first time job

[@bryantholt4917]

How did you disconnect the wires

[@TC-hb2gn]

I don’t know why you bother making and posting a video and edit out at least half the steps. Kinda defeats the purpose of an instructional video wouldn’t you say?

[@Kangol_Automotive]

Nobody said anything about it being instructional or steps

[@OmniscientOrangutan]

Screw these new nissans, the 2002-8 models were wayyyyy easier to take apart Like oh gee your blower motor is out, that will be 8 hours of labor

[@averyalexander2303]

It could be way worse, they could have put it behind the dash like some cars do.

[@conspiracorn1437]

​@@averyalexander2303 where do you think he's reaching behind in the video? 😂

[@averyalexander2303]

@@conspiracorn1437 Thar's not really BEHIND the dash, more like on the side of the dash. On some cars, the entire dash has to come out to change the blower motor. Not that I'm saying this is a good design, just that it could be way worse.

[@theweakestlink2278]

Thanks for posting this. It was really helpful.

[@Kangol_Automotive]

Glad it was helpful!

[@asa-punkatsouthvinland7145]

My blower went out. Watched vid to see what to do. Bought blower. Didn't quite notice that jump cut before 😂 Blower a little harder to get at that I realized. Gonna try to replace it now, wish me luck!

[@Kangol_Automotive]

Yeah it's tasty but not impossible but somewhat time consuming

[@asa-punkatsouthvinland7145]

@@Kangol_Automotive tasty?

[@emmcee476]

Remove kick panel, unplug connectors on pedal assembly, detach all connector push clips, remove metal box and bracket under column (gave me more room), disconnect steering shaft at the TOP section (can be slid down easily by hand), remove pedal assembly, remove blower motor Removing that metal square box and its bracket, and disconnecting that top section of the shaft, will make the job a lot easier

[@Kedrabbeastin]

I really thought I could fix this myself 😒 Nissan why the hell you put it under the drivers

[@shadowalker18]

If you want to be even faster about it you can actually remove the radio and it's right there

[@masterblaze7408]

How long did that actually take you?

[@chrismass4760]

This video was not helpful at all. Makes it seem like its simple and just pops out well it doesn't

[@romangomez1541]

I did this to my versa and after the traction control light keeps coming on and brake is stiff is there any reprogramming after it’s done

[@garethpritchard7012]

the blower on my 2013 Note is dead but for some reason it's completely different to every other motor and I can't find a replacement

[@daisyjohnson7588]

Followed the directions and changed the blower motor on my 2015 versa note. I did need to buy a 13mm deep socket, but everything else was pretty standard. (A 10mm crescent, some needle nose pliers for the plastic clips, a small philips screwdriver etc) The only thing not covered in the video was 20 fucking minutes of wiggling and fanageling to get the whole break pedal housing out. There wasnt really a trick to it, just fussing until eventually it came clear of everything else.

[@theweakestlink2278]

That's exactly what happened to me. Took a good 15 mins worth of wrestling with the brake assembly and that was after removing the gas pedal first. Blower was pretty easy to replace though. Now just gotta put it all back together.....

[@emmcee476]

No removing the brake booster like one of the comments here mentions?

[@daisyjohnson7588]

@@emmcee476 I'm going to be honest this was about a year ago, but as I remember nothing else needed to be removed that wasn't covered in the video, but it was a fuck of a lot more frustrating than the video made it look

[@emmcee476]

​​@@daisyjohnson7588yea I just finished this job at my workplace. Removing this square metal box and its bracket (under column), and disconnecting the intermediate shaft at the top joint, made it pretty easy to remove the pedal assembly After that, the blower motor is easy to get to

[@derriousbrewer4413]

What tools did you use for the entire fix?

[@OddBallPerformance]

Just to answer this question for the next person that may have this question. You need a 13mm, a 10mm, and a phillips. The 10mm in a ratcheting wrench is handy but not necessary. The 13mm as a deep socket with a 3 inch and 6 to 8 inch extension should be enough to do all of it along with a small plastic hammer to get the steering knuckle off the splines.

[@shibaartista4274]

How many hours of labor is this ? I was quoted at $350

[@keithbergman103]

What can I do if the fan doesn’t come on after I replaced the blower motor, resistor, and the relay switch

[@Kangol_Automotive]

could be a problem with the controls or wiring you really a wiring diagram and see where the power come from and follow the path it take to get to the motor

[@GilGTG]

Thanks for this video. I'm about to save a bunch of 💵

[@ShawtySmoov]

Is this the same method you would take removing the heater core on a 2015 versa

[@Kangol_Automotive]

No the whole dashed has to be removed the there is a metal bar across behind that the heater core is inside a big hvac box you have to open it up to get to it way more work involved

[@ooCHICOoo]

great 👍 video thank you for sharing my friend

[@millel2264]

Hi dude. nice video. I have to replace blower as well. I am in ireland. right side drive. Please could you tell me if enough remove gas pedal and break pedal to remove old blower ? or need remove column steeering and other plastic parts ?

[@southpark159753]

What a stupid place for a blower motor, seems like Toyota and Nissan loves to cram as much junk in one area as possible. Thanks man

[@killaslaye]

Is this same procedure for 2017 Nissan Versa?

[@Kangol_Automotive]

yes

[@thepelusautosale1407]

i like the ganster introduccion

[@bobshermer6246]

Thanks for sharing. Very informative video. Only comment is: very sad music. Perhaps it illustrates our opinion of Nissan s decision to put the blower so inaccessible. Or perhaps to use a crappy blower that needs replacing.

[@AmyKazanjian]

Hi 👋 Can you give any tips on how you disconnected the blower motor connector prior to removing pedal? Did you use a tool or anything?

[@Kangol_Automotive]

think i reached in there, with a L shaped pick to push in the tab on the conector while pushing it out of the blower motor

[@petersobik2162]

Yea it’s tight af also that pedal bracket just don’t slide right out you have to remove the steering shaft. Well I’m not doing a note just a regular versa

[@OmniscientOrangutan]

@@petersobik2162 I can't wait to do this lmfao

[@jms7620]

Blower motor keeps falling out I've put it back twice

[@mpdavis731]

My blower motor is fine, but parked under a maple tree and got a bunch of crud stuck in there and makes a clicking noise - this should give me at least partial access to clean it out. Thanks!

[@sherifbeshai8395]

Do you need to replace the resistor also

[@Kangol_Automotive]

not necessarily usually when they go bad the fan will only work on high

bigger glovebox for customers to sell better .... and more money on labor to fix parts ... it's a win win situation for everybody.

Can you do this by removing the dash?

you could but would be much harder than to just remove the pedals if you want to change the blower motor

[@katelynstrong2008]

I'm looking into fixing this myself on my car because my fan got really weak for a bit then stopped turning on all-together. The fact that you have to remove the pedals kind of freaks me out....would you recommend someone take their car to a shop for this or do you think I could do it myself?

[@Kangol_Automotive]

its not a very easy job you will have to remove the pedals and a few other things to get to the blower motor and have room to pull it out but its better that having to remove the whole dash board you will need some tools and i would say be mechanically inclined to do this if you are and you have to time go for it will take a few hours and you can save some money if you take to a shop the labor time for the job is 2 hours labor at whatever their rate is most shop will be at least $100/hr average or more dealer average $150/hr plus the part which they will mark up gas pedal is a electrical part so unplug and remove the brake pedal is hard hard but nut and pin to the booster holds it in place no adjustment just put back like you found it and it will be find so the choice if yours its catch 22 if you want save money got some tools or know somebody that does and have a full day to set aside to do go for will save you money in the process and moving forward you could do some things yourself or pay money to not have the worry of it but easily be $200-$400 maybe even more
