Hi All,
After reading as much on this subject as possible, I see no way to get the unit out without removing the center dash with nearby components and interior. As I see it, the unit is a double squirrel blower with the motor in the center and mounted across the back top of the unit. I have tried to follow the flow of disassembly per the Service Manual and often find I am lost after jumping from section to section. Additionally, the manual seems to indicate that you must disconnect and discharge the AC as well as drain the cooling system. Although I appreciate the engineering involved, I would not purchase another Nissan if this is their idea of good design and maintainability...or are these motors never to fail?
Since the rear blower has also failed and is much easier to access, I intend to replace that unit first before attempting the front dash unit. I have gone through most of the circuit and testing seems to indicate that the motors or a connection near the motor is faulty in each case. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to address either unit's replacement to resolve these issues. By the way, has anyone had these units fail or is this a rare problem?
Thanks,
Ray
