I was wondering if anyone knows how to rectify this problem. The heat and A/C comes out of the vents still but only when the fan is set to the highest setting. any other fan setting the blower just turns off. Any suggestions?Thank You,Ryan

99.9% of the time that problem is caused by the blower resistor. If you look under the glove box next to the blower motor (you may need to pull the glove box) there is a wide connector with about 6 wires. Unplug that and remove the two little screws and the part that you pull out is the blower resistor. It looks like a little credit card sized bit of printed circuit board..... Well I guess it looks like that because thats what it is. Just had a John Madden moment. Your local Nissan parts department should have this in stock.
