Title says it all... is there a relay or a fuse I should be looking for, or is it the switch?

For a '95 240SX-SE

Thanks...sometimes "4" is just TOO much!

you HVAC resistor is broken, it limits the amount of electricity going to the blower from speeds 1 to 3, 4 is direct current, you gotta get a new one, im not sure if its where my old sentra's was that went out on me and it was located underneath the glovebox.

Yup, that's where it is AND seems to be the problem. I'm getting power TO it (so that rules out the switch), but that's where it all ends (except for Hi/4).

Was thinking about the junkyard for this, but if many others have this problem, I guess it's best to buy new...

Oh wow. I was gonna buckle down and buy a whole new A/C / Heater control unit cause i thought it was the switch itself. You guys saved me alot of cash!

I got a 95 240sx too.... Wonder if this is a common problem with them?

Looks the same (about the size or a credit card) and will have a 4-wire harness; 3 thin gauge (speeds 1,2,3?) and 1 heavier gauge (speed 4).

It's located between the blower motor and firewall...just follow the 4-wire harness that's tied into the 2-wire harness that goes into the blower motor. All wires are Blue w/ a colored stripe (heavier gauge wire might not have a stripe???) Comes down w/ two Phillips screws.
