Skibane, Can you send me 1 of these Mosfets? FDH5500 Power MOSFET Transistors. If anyone one wants one, let me know.Skibane wrote:TRM972, the Fuji datasheet in your link shows the 2SK2690 as having a TO-3P package, which doesn't resemble the FDH-5500's TO-247 package at all. So, even if the electrical specs are similar, it would be difficult to mount the new MOSFET so that it was well heat-sunk to the Fan Amp enclosure.
Using Mouser's parameter search function, the closest potential replacement I could find that is in stock is the IRFP048 (Mouser Part No. 844-IRFP048PBF), which is made by Vishay. It has the same TO-247 package as the FDH5500_F085, but has a considerably lower maximum power dissipation (even though the current and voltage ratings are similar). Since it's cheap and readily available, I'd be tempted to try it.
To answer your other question, none of the folks who have installed the FDH-5500 have reported problems with it. I'm still on the original NEC 2SK2500 in my Q, so I can't provide any first-hand info.

It could also be that before the blower motor was repaired, it over-stressed the fan control amp. Typically, a bad motor draws excessive current, which overheats the control amp. So, by repairing the motor, you may have fixed that part of the problem - now all you may need to fix is the fan amp itself.jxaguirre wrote:Skibane:
blower going on full speed, blower motor has been repaired, could it be a faulty repair (drawing too much current) is the cause for the fan amp failure?
I know of one other NICO member who repaired his Pathfinder's fan amp with this procedure. Unfortunately, I don't know what year that Pathfinder was.DO you know if the parts for PAthfinder (the amp) are the same as for Q45?
Hi to all of you!nmax95 wrote:Skibane, thank you so much for creating this thread!
I successfully replaced the amp for my 95 Maxima back in 2008 after the blower stopped working, and now it is happening again. The part number for my car is 27761-70t04, so it seems very similar, and the part looks identical. I am going to test the cutout tonight when I get home. Since the part (thermal cutout) is so cheap, I am going to go ahead and order in advance. Thanks again for helping out!

I just became a member and what helped my desicion was a very well step by step description on how to fix a fan control amp. by Skybane. Thank you very much! I am good on replacing the parts, but i don't know where to get the replacements. If Skybane let me know how to get the extra parts, I will get some of them. Thank you
It's in the very first post in this thread, in the "HOW TO TROUBLE-SHOOT IT" section.plundccre wrote: I see to recall that somewhere it was posted a way to check if the fan amp was working with an ohm meter and checking the resistance but I have been unable to locate that post.
They are directly related so treating one without treating the other is a formula for certain failure again soon.plundccre wrote: The dealer tole her that the problem would be either the fan amp ($179 + labor) or the fan motor ($275 + labor) or both. however it may be that it is neither. If it's not the fan or the amp, is there anything else I should be checking?
