air con fan selector not working


Hi Guys,

We have an st 2001 model and the number '2' on the fan selection does not work. The car is a few weeks out of warranty and nissan has indicated that they won't fix it at no charge as they have not heard of the fault before. I did a quick search under warranty repairs and saw that a few of you have had similar problems. But I was wondering how many so that I can present this back to them.

cheers

Ours stopped working on "1", took it back for a warranty fix. I don't think I would settle for paying when I knew it has happened to others.

congrats nissan!!

a week or so after telling us that our air con selector was fixed free of charge even though the vehicle is out of warranty we have recieved a phone call telling us we need to pay $60 which is half of the retail price.

Probably wouldn't mind if they could actually find and fix the other problems within the car!

Hi,

My 03 ST has just suffered the same problem. Number 2 has ceased to work!

Took it in today and they are ordering the part so they can fix it.

Regards

A quick question for Blae & Chris - do you use the 2nd fan speed most of the time? Mine's on fan speed 1 about 90% of the time.

I just wondered why there's now 2 people with the same problem, and if we're likely to expect a whole lot more failing in the months to come...

G'Day Rich,

I have two small kids so we usually have it on fan speed 2, 1 just doesn't do it for us, and only use 3 and 4 on xtream days!

Hey Boults,

I'd print out the pages from here discussing the same issue.

I was in the BMW/MINI Club and every time the dealer gave us the old "Never seen that problem before" line we'd just pull out the pages discussed on forums and make them feel like right dills.

Re: air con fan selector not working


Well.. ya all know I had issues with mine over the summber period. I don't think the switch is electrically sound. Where there are high currents passing through the plastic mould, larger wires have been inserted to compensate for the heat. A relay would have been better suited for this.

I think as the Exy's are getting older, more series 1 owners will start to experience problems with the switch. As time goes by, the insulation of the wires deteriorate, offering less resistance. At the end of the day, it gets quite dangerous. But as mentioned already Nissan just say "never seen that happen before".

As for the switch stopping on certain speeds(and I think this is also in another thread)... speeds 1-3 are connected via a resistor unit that is plugged into the fan motor base. If your switches stop working, then this is the most likely cause. This will set you back around $170 (from Nissan).

The 4th speed position comes straight through the fuses... this is the one that is the most dangerous one. The fan motor is pulling 15A on this speed, and the documentation shows two 15A fuses in parallel. Meaning that the fan would need to pull 30A before the fuses would blow. The wires aren't rated for that, nor is the plastic mould that the switch is plugged in to, so your car will catch on fire before the fuses blow.

My 2 cents!
