Helped me again

[CMF_LX97]

Last night when I drove to work I found that the fan would not blow on any settings except the fastest.
With the current temperatures in the mid thirties I was keen to see if I could fix the darn thing.
I did a search and read that this is a common thing to happen with the Micra.
Two years ago I bought this car and only one fan speed did not work. I learnt to live with this but after last night and only having one fan speed. I needed the range of fan speeds to assist with the air conditioner especially today it's a scorcher.
Anyway thanks to this great and helpful sight I found the answer.
I need a new heater blower motor resistor. I took out the old one and found the old circuits on the resistor were badly worn away and there was a touch of corrosion on the rear of the resistor. Whilst in there I took out the fan motor and how dirty does it get in there.
Any how the part is on order and I need it as fast as there doesn't seem to be any relief in sight from this heat.
Thanks micra files.

Just for curiosity's sake, where are you sourcing the new resistor card from?

Nissan, at a cost of $52.
I thought about asking Carlos(sportsclassic) from this site for a used one but was unsure how long it might last so I thought what the heck I'll get a new one.
I thought I'd write this thread as I find this site helpful, not like other members.
Hey it does have it's benefits. This site has helped me and saved me a few dollars along the way.

Nice.. that's actually not a terrible price to get through nissan. Thanks for letting us know! If you get a part number too it'd make it even easier for people in future to get replacements

Cheers,

In the search I did it showed the part number 27150-41B05.
My LX 97 has the same number. Apparentley earlier models had a different last five digit number.

I know you were referring to the blower fan, but I'd thought to share this out too.

I was concerned on the radiator fan not even starting , even after a 6 hour drive I never heard it start up or maybe I didn't notice but by the end of the trip I expected it to be on.. but it didn't

This didn't made me worry much as the temperature in the dash was around mid just like anytime.

Then I asked online, & after a few attempts I heard it work. It wasn't damaged at all. The micra has a wonderful cooling techniques mates!

You probably won't get many days that will be hot enough to cause the radiator fan to be required in Malta, especially this time of the year.
