If it's anything like the Sentra, it should be behind the glove box like most nissans are. You'll have to take out the whole glove box, and it's mounted in an upward position as if you were laying on the floor and looking up. You'll see 2 screws right next to a whiteish plastic clip.

I have lost air movement in my 2010 rogue. No heat or cooling. I checked the fuses and the relay so i am thinking it is the blower motor. Any tips on how to do this? Thanks.

2010 nissan rogue. I have been looking around for this resistor and might of found it but i have to remove the gas pedal and prefer not to do that if that is not the resistor. Can anyone confirm that is the location? Beside the gas pedal, behind the cabin filter.

The other day my '14 Rogue quit directing air out the vents (any vents in any mode). I could hear the blower change speeds when I adjusted it, in both auto mode and with the fan speed control. The air just stopped coming out. The two blower fuses were good, and when I started up again everything appeared fixed. 15 minutes of driving later, the air slowly stopped coming out the vents. Shut the system down while still driving and started it up again maybe 5 minutes later and it worked again, and has continued to be 'right' since. I did stop at Nissan when the problem first started, and the service advisor looked at me like I was crazy.

I believe you have the correct one. It is referred to as the "Fan Control Amp." in the service manual:

REMOVAL
1. Remove instrument driver lower cover. Refer to IP-13, "Exploded View".
2. Remove accelerator pedal assembly. Refer to ACC-4, "Exploded View".
3. Disconnect fan control amp. connector.
4. Remove mounting screws, and then remove fan control amp.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.

I can upload further pictures (from the Service Manual) if need be.

I have never replaced mine, so I am unsure if you can get it out without taking the pedal off or not.

You can change the blower motor amp without removing the gas pedal or brake pedal assemblies--but it is very difficult. I did it the other day on our 2013 Nissan Rogue SV. The diagram of the A/C unit is backwards--they're showing you the back of this unit, and the blower motor and the blower motor amp are on the left, not the right, and the A/C unit sits in the middle of dashboard.

First off, you cannot see the blower motor amp, but it is just behind the in-cabin micro-filter slot, near the top.

The first thing I did was to remove that triangular panel on the left side of the dashboard (driver's side) with a skinny flat tip screwdriver. Then I removed the lower dashboard panel (driver's side) with the same screwdriver. THE FSM shows you how to do this. And while the FSM said I should disconnect the hood lock control mechanism and the combination meter connector, I just flipped it up to the left and wiggled it out of the way, then tied it to the driver's side mirror with a string.

Then I made a platform next to the driver's side of the car, using a utility wagon with the sides down and old couch cushions on top, so I could kneel on it as I leaned deep under the driver's side dashboard. I then removed the in-cabin micro-filter door, then felt behind the filter slot up near the top, and was able to feel the fan control amp, its housing and two screws, and the wire plug in the middle.

You have to contort your left arm over top of the brake pedal and to the right of the gas pedal to reach the fan control amp, which--again--is just behind the in-cabin micro-filter slot near the top. You also need a very small finger screwdriver ratchet, with a #1 Phillips head, about half the size of a normal stubby screwdriver (I got mine at Princess Auto).

The first thing I did was to remove the wire plug connected to the middle of the fan control amp, by pushing in the middle tab of the plug with the fingers of my left hand and pulling it out, then pushing it down and out of the way. Then I removed the bottom screw of the fan control amp housing (again, with the fingers of my left hand) using my super small finger screwdriver ratchet, then I removed the top screw, then I simply slid out the old fan control amp and slid in the new one--then put the two screws back in, then the center plug, then put the two dashboard panels back on.

BUT THIS WAS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT AND TIME-CONSUMING TO DO AS YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND ARE JUST GOING BY TOUCH ALONE. BUT IT CAN BE DONE.

The fan control amp from the dealer was $150, and they wanted $400 to install it, which I saved by doing it myself. Also, do yourself a favor and change the in-cabin micro-filter while you're down there (YouTube has a good vid by Filterheads) as it is probably filthy and clogged, as was ours after only two years of driving. The filter from the dealer was $35 (but you can buy a generic one for about $25), and the dealer actually wanted $60 to install it, which I also saved by doing it myself.

This was a tortuous DIY repair--but do-able. And you can cheat... by not removing the gas pedal or brake pedal assemblies... and by not removing the hood lock control mechanism or combination meter connector... but you do need a super small finger screwdriver ratchet (with a #1 Phillips head)... and some kind of platform that you can kneel on as you can squeeze in and deep under the driver's side dashboard.

But there are no happy endings to my story. The repair worked for half a day, and now the blower only works half the time (on all speeds), so now I plan to replace the blower relay, which I think (and hope) is far easier than replacing the fan control amp.

I had a blower motor stop working on a 2013 Rogue SL and need help finding and replacing. I have already ordered the new part but am getting conflicting information on it's location as there appears to be a left side model located through the driver side and a right hand model located behind the glove box neither of which I can find.

Welcome to NICO!

First thing you're going to want to do is get to the fan and run it with it exposed, to see if it's coming from the fan or perhaps something got inside the enclosure where the fan is and is rubbing against the fan... Worst case scenario you're going to be looking at replacing the fan.

Often fan noises like you describe are the result of something sliding down the defrost vents on top of the dash. Gum wrapper, leaf, coin, big dead bug etc.

Blower works occasionally. I've checked all fuses and relays, replaced the rectifier, pulled the blower motor out 3 times now and tested it. first removal took a while. Now I've gotten so good at it I can do it in about half hour. Everything seems to be working. After a recent replacement it started right away, then would not start after I turned car off and restarted. Frustrated and looking for advice or suggestions. When removing the blower I remove and disconnect the drivers seat, and gas/brake pedal assembly. Can I reconnect battery and check blower operation with the seat and pedal assembly removed? :confused:

Check the blower motor resistor as listed above.
