Nissan Sentra Vent control dial Broken - Temperature control repair

[@Albert-bk1jz]

I own an 06 and I was told it was the same problem. Now I know how to fix it! Appreciate the video and Thanks a lot!

[@RichTones]

You’re welcome and good luck! Take your time and you can do it.

[@johnnyappleseed5158]

Dude!!!!!!! I have a 2004 Sentra and I’ve been blistering in the SUN! I couldn’t figure out why my ac was only blowing hot. I checked everything!!! Found your video and now Ice cold air! Thank you so much!!!

[@kenykiller1994]

Would have been nice to see how you removed the HVAC housing to get to it.

[@AutoTechHec]

Good shit. Happened to my temperature dial, fixed it the same way, and now my air flow dial isn’t working. I should’ve figured it would the the same. Thanks.

[@RichTones]

EmmCee Dee figures that would happen. I’m glad the video helped thanks for the comment!

[@IB-fz2oq]

Thanks helped me a lot now I understand whats wrong with my air conditioning mechanism. All was needed is to secure the housing, I didn't fix it for a year because it was too much expensive

[@RichTones]

I’m glad it helped you and saved some money ✌️

[@johngaines50]

Just fixed mine. Overall took maybe 45 minutes including popping off the dash and getting the stereo out of the way. Thanks!!!!

[@RichTones]

that's great! its not too hard if you take the time and follow the steps. I'm glad this is helping so many people. I don't have this car anymore, but it is usefule to people with this setup.

[@stuartwilcox2590]

Thanks mate. That is exactly what happened to my daughters Xtrail. Drilled a couple of holes and used cable ties. Works perfect now. Wouldn't have known where to start without your video!

[@RichTones]

Very glad this is helping people! Good Luck.

[@MsHahn00]

Omg thank you.. super easy fix.. that was driving me insane!!

[@RichTones]

You’re welcome and glad it helped you!

[@dananderson61]

Exactly my issue. Super helpful to understand the mechanics going into it. Thanks!

[@martinhartig5092]

Thanks for this video- it helped me diagnose and fix the heat control problem on my 2005 Xtrail. In my case the loop on the end of the cable was off the pin. Once I got in there with long pliers and popped the loop back in place it all worked!

[@RichTones]

Glad to hear this helped you and thanks for watching!

[@daniellaws9351]

Thanks for the video. Exact problem. Zip tied it. Worked like a charm.

[@RichTones]

Daniel Laws I’m glad to hear that! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

[@j2uazon83]

[@jacks_DIY98]

Thank you, very helpful.

[@coolpat2]

I have a 2001 and 2002 sentra. I have the same problem on both.

[@haymaker299]

A great tip in this video is to consider both zip ties and twist ties, when making repairs like this one. If one doesn't work, perhaps the other will. Also, don't forget about small hose clamps, like the band type with worm screw. A clamp like that may sometimes make a decent cable-retention clamp.

[@RichTones]

All great suggestions, and thanks for watching!

[@stephanietexeira3469]

What the name of that clip that hold the wire I'm missing that clip

[@RichTones]

Not sure of the exact name but some sort of cable clip for the climate control. I ended up modifying and drilling holes for zip ties to hold it

[@konstantinos665]

Hello ! 2004 Nissan Sentra Vent control dial Is the same with 2002 ? The one you have at this video Let me know please Thanks

[@RichTones]

I'm not familiar with the design if they are the same or not. Its easy enough to take apart and look inside to see if its the same or if you need an alternate solution.

[@arenshreds3356]

Life saver bro

[@ASMRunning]

What do you if you ziptied the cable firm, and the vent selctor still doesn't work? In December 2020, my vent selector was stuck on the instrument panel vents. I watched this video and was able to fix the problem by ziptying the loose cable. Now almost two years later, my vent is stuck on the defogger. I figured the cable just got loose again, so I repeated the steps in this video, but the cable is still ziptied firm, so I am not sure where the problem is. Do you have any idea what could be causing the air to be only coming out of the defogger? Thank you in advance for any help! And thank you again for helping me out two years ago!

[@RichTones]

I'm glad it helped you previously and not quite sure without seeing yours. I don't have the car anymore so working from memory. It could be that the physical vent baffle is stuck or perhaps the cable is not moving it from that end. Good luck friend.

[@johngaines50]

Going to do this in a couple days. :)

[@RichTones]

Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

[@lukeskywalkerlucasfilm]

Thanks for video, very helpful!

[@univelkaa]

HOW DO YOU GET THE PANEL OFF?

[@roccit]

Really appreciate this, we have an 05 so same same!! Thanks!!1

[@RichTones]

I’m glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching

[@lukeskywalkerlucasfilm]

Great video! Thanks for info.

[@JosePerez-wo2zn]

Thank you very much 👍👍

[@RichTones]

You’re welcome

[@Rhysandshuge-wingspan]

Wow. I just did the exact same thing to fix mine two days ago! I had to do both the temperature control and the airflow control. I mean. I did exactly the same thing on both sides. Two zip ties on each side. Great minds think alike! Is it still holding up on your car? I am hoping it’ll hold for a while, but I get the feeling it’s just temporary.

[@RichTones]

It held up for a least another year but then we traded the car in. Thanks for watching.

[@RichTones]

@@missioncodez six years on a zip tie is a win in my book!

[@RichTones]

@@missioncodez agreed! Unfortunately our Sentra had other issue with the engine and decided to sell it. Got a favorable price from CarMax and got something newer for my daughter. Thanks for your feedback!

[@DrHurtYou]

I have a 2015 Nissan NV200 with a Chevy City Express label on it with the same problem. My air control changer is on the left side and I imagine it's the same issue but different sides?

[@RichTones]

Very well could be, don’t know about that model, but if you are looking to save some money it might be worth a little effort to take a look if it’s possible. Good luck my friend.

[@DrHurtYou]

@@RichTones I took it apart and the cable wire just needed to be re connected.. Thanks for your video!

[@RichTones]

@@DrHurtYou that’s good, a little easier problem. I’m glad this is helping son many people. Thanks for tuning in!

[@DJAugAceP]

Yo hilarious! You also have a Dual aftermarket radio! Piece of trash brand, as the one I installed in my Sentra seems to have an internal short which cause radio to stop working after a few days. The only way I could get radio to work again is to remove the entire unit from dash and remove fuse from radio. Stupidly I bought another Dual for a Kia Sedona and that had its screen crap out after barely a couple of years. Great video about the HVAC unit otherwise...

[@RichTones]

The Dual was worth more than the car practically. It had Bluetooth to link my daughter phone when it was her starter car. Thanks for watching 👌

[@joardaelewis3560]

What is the whole thing called so I can replace it in my car. Buy a new 1! Asap

[@RichTones]

Try dashboard temperature control, or ventilation control

[@emptyspotlight]

mine is an 06. i have this issue, I'll try it tho

[@RichTones]

+emptyspotlight just take your time and it not too difficult. Good luck and hope it helps!

[@christopherbolden7579]
