Ok, i finally got my first 240 blk w/ blue interior, at, SE, 166k for $2700! it pulls hard and shifts great but some things are bugging me in the inside, any input would be great.

1. Temp gauge barely passes the 'C' and when it does it slowly drops back down.

2. Lights flicker when i hit a bump in the cluster near the temp gauge mainly.

3. AC controls do not light up.

4. AC only blows when '4' is selected, the other do not work.

5. i can barely feel any air flow out of the door vents.

Any inside info or DIY would be greatly appreciated.

if you want new, nissan is probably going to be the only place to find them, but expect to pay top dollar, although the blower motor resistor was in the $20 ball park last time i checked. other than that, lurk in the "complete part-outs" forum and you should be able to locate them fairly quickly.

How easy is it to put in the blower motor resistor?
