Blower only works on max setting? Please help!

1995 Maxima
All of a sudden......the A/C blower motor only functions on "4" which is the maximum setting. No air blows whatsoever on settings 1-3. It is cooling fine. Any ideas very much appreciated......Gary

Most likely, you have a defective Fan Resistor (M77(. Refer to page HA-37 (component location) and HA-41 *wiring diagram) from the link below.

Definitely (well, it COULD be the switch, but that's unlikely) the blower resistor. I did mine 11 years ago at 111K miles, and the resistor I put in is still working perfect. Cost me $25 from a dealer back then, so it might be a few more bucks now. It's a real simple fix - the toughest part for me was lying on the passenger side seat on my back to get at the 2 screws (under the dash) that hold the resistor in.

Sorry for the last post regarding exact location....DUH. I am now on laptop and can open the PDF link. Can't get more specific than that. Thanks so much for your time in helping me. I will begin looking for the resistor. God bless.....

If you want to try and save some money, you can go check for almost any other early 90s Nissan or Infiniti with automatic climate control at a junkyard. They all use the same resistor (manual climate control doesn't use one at all, though). Every car has the part in that same basic spot.
