I agree! What a stupid setup for the cabin filter. Glad you were able to replace the blower motor the way you did. Vehicles are not getting any easier to work on! Nice job!
@@PhillipBailey I gave up on it tonight Im dizzy as hell from hanging upside down from the passenger seat since i dont have the tool to take the driver seat out
@@PhillipBailey The worst part is i dont think anything is even wrong with it some junk probably just got stuck in it, I could hear it rattling for some time and then it would stop working and would only start going again if i made left turns or hit potholes 😂
@@PhillipBailey Appreciate the help brother I just got the new motor in, having trouble wiggling it in, pretty sure the old harness got lost somewhere in no mans land 😂
Hi, that’s exactly what I need for my Nissan Sentra 2010, the blow motor, Where are you located? Or any mechanic if can help me to do this job please? I’m in the city of Moreno Valley county of riverside. Thank you.
The only thing I can think of is a plugged cabin filter, If all the controls are set to maximum airflow. Has the heater ever been worked on before? If so maybe something was not put back together correctly.
Quick note for those having trouble getting rhe bcm connectors out (especially the black connector). If you can get two connections out it will give enough slack you can tuck it up into the dash and pull the motor out underneath. Its a little bit of a balancing act but it can save your fingers. Thank you for the video! This was the perfect step by step. Motor is all good now!
I appreciate your video help. Yep. This IS designed for a young person who is left handed. Watch your elbows. The BCM plugs came out ok. Need skinny and strong fingers. My thumb hurts. The brake pedal that nut is locking. I used a 17mm and a 10 inch Cresent. The cabin air filter probably wasn't ever changed(in 13 years) had the Nissan wording. Leaves and dirt. Change that while the pedal assembly is out. Yeah, that is a dumbass design. Took me about 2 1/2 hours including going to the parts store for the filter. Blows great now. My man...
Now I'm at the clevis. Which way do I turn the jam nut? I'm using a screwdriver to kind of "hold" it in place, and an adjustable crescent wrench, and I assumed I would be turning the jam nut counter-clockwise, but it won't budge. I gave up and tried clockwise; still won't budge. I'm probably too weak. 😫
I just saw another video. Didn't show which way to the. The jam nut, but I think I want to turn it clockwise because you have to turn the clevis counter-clockwise. So turning the jam nut clockwise will move it AWAY, thus leaving room to get the clevis off?
@@PhillipBaileyes, I always remember "lefty loosey; righty tighty" 😅 So that's why I initially was turning the nut counter-clockwise (left) to loosen. But the clevis part needs to come off, so the nut needs to go farther onto the bolt, thus "tighten" thus to the right (clockwise) in order to make room to turn the clevis to the left (loosen). So the nut turns right, the clevis turns left. And it took all my strength to loosen it. I had to get a long screwdriver and jam it behind the long metal post thing underneath so I could use both my hands on a longer crescent wrench, and the reef to the right as hard as I could. And it loosened.
He's removing lots from stuff than I did. But when I put it all back together, no cruise control and air bag light stays on. Hardest part are those damn connectors. Don't need cruise control but air bags would be nice. Anyways it lasted three weeks. Yanked it our again. A pack rat packed a hot dog wiener into it. The same rat or his buddy stuck another hot dog in the glove box. This time shook black pepper all over to keep the pack rat out. It works. Careful with the wires and this time air bag okay.
If you disconnect the battery prior to repairs you should not set any codes. Codes will set if you turn on the ignition with the accelerator pedal disconnected. After cycling the key off to on with the pedal reconnected the codes should go to history but the MIL may remain on. It should run fine though and any OBD 2 reader should be able to clear the codes. You may also be able to clear the codes by disconnecting the battery cable for several minutes as well.
Awesome video. I know I need a new motor. This will keep me from guessing what I have to do. Thanks for taking the time to help us little guys out. But why do they have to make things so difficult.
It's like this on pretty much everything today. Engineered to be cheap to build and often don't consider what it will cost the consumer for common repairs. I agree that some things are common sense. For example having to remove an entire front bumper and grill to replace a headlight bulb is just bad engineering. Unless it has HID lights typical bulbs last 3000 hours. They are going to need to be replaced at some time. Starters, alternators, heater blower, thermostats, drive belts, and bulbs should all be simple to replace. Oh well keeps me employed...
@@PhillipBailey This was very helpful to replace the fan. you took out all of the guess work. But I have replaced the blower motor, resistor, fuses are good and I checked the relays. Everything seems to be in working order. But the blower still isn't working. Might you have any other ideas. The only thing I didn't replace is the switch itself
@@christophergreen30 do you have power to both fuses 10 and 11 with the key on? You should have power at the blower motor yellow wire with key on. The resistor supplies the ground. It's not really a resistor it's a transistor. If you unplug the resistor (transistor) and jump the red to black the fan should run on high. There is no Switch that you can change it's part of the control assembly. Check these things and get back to me if you can't figure it out.
@@PhillipBailey thanks for all of your help. It ended up being the squirrel cages not being to same and it had to new blower in a bind. It did burn up my new transistor but I still had my old one and it worked. So I just put the old squirrel cage on the new blower motor now everything seems to work. Thanks so much it really help me track down the problem. Come to find out the part that was sent didn't match the picture and spins the opposite direction. I'll have to do it all again with the correct part
2013 Nissan Sentra SV, just changed it out. Don't follow this video. Take out the glove box. No harder than changing out a headlight on most modern vehicles. I tried to video, but couldn't make it work on my phone.
@@PhillipBaileyThe blower motor on my 2013 Nissan Sentra is out and everything I could find online seemed to be 2012 or older or 2014 and newer. I assumed I’d have to do it through the driver side. I was glad to see this comment and your reply!
@@PhillipBailey no. You said to undo the hood release so you can get the plastic panel cover off. I ended up finagling with the panel and got it out of the way instead of getting it right out. Need the panel out of the way to make room for getting the blower out.
Sounds like the brake pedal is not returning properly. Check if the pushrod to tge brake pedal is installed correctly and if tge brake light switch is stopping the brake pedal from returning correctly.
Thank you for the video . My friend just called and said he needs a blower motor on the same car . Sounds like a couple hour job . Thinking about charging a hundred bucks . Or should I go $150 ?
Depends on how much per hour and how many hours. If you look up the factory time it's like 4 to 5 hours as they say the entire dash must be removed. Doing it this way is still tough but I'd quote you 1.5 hours plus the part. Hope this helps
@@kingtut5520 That's a price I saw several place. A mechanic can bring in more dollars doing oil changes all day than spending the day getting the dash in and out. I've read it's more like 8 hours with the dash and heater removal and replacement.
@@PhillipBailey My 2012 sentra blower motor is howling and grinding like a bastard. Dropping off Friday. My mechanic said around 200 for parts and labor. After watching what you had to do, i cant see it only being 200 bucks. ha
@user-zu1zf3yf4p yes thats cheap. He may not have checked the labour time guide. Book time is around 6 hours and includes dash removal. Most blower motors are under an hour. Let me know how it goes.

Don't remove the module all the way just hang it to one side

Huge help! It wasn’t easy, but without this video, I probably wouldn’t have been able to do it. Thanks!
Glad it helped you. Either way it's an ugly job.
7:47 my thoughts while fixing my wife's nissan sentra and it's center console mounted filter...
AWESOM WORK PILLIP, ARE YOU ONE MAN SHOP NO HELPER THAT WOULD BE HARD AS ALWAYS ENJOYABLE TO WATCH THANKS FOR SHARING.
My shop is a one man operation but occasionally I might have a helper...
Houdini to get that blower motor out.
I have been fighting with that stupid f*cking box that has the 3 plugs in it for like 2 hours now and cannot get it out of the damn way
It definitely is a challenge. I found it easier to unplug after unbolting the fasteners. You have to be part Houdini...

@@Usef320 that's a typical sign of worn brushes in the motor. Hit a bump or turn corners and the blower will stop or start. Good luck.

I need the same thing done but I can't afford to pay anyone.
No one ever says size the screw that holds the blower motor is
@davidknicks I believe its 8mm
Nissans are a joke
Great video thanks
Glad it helped you.
Thanks for the video. It was spot on. I was able to change my blower motor saving 700 dollars. Took me a none mechanic 4 hours ish
Glad it helped you.
Do you know why the middle to vents do not blow as much as the outer 2 vents? All have the knob on high but middle to blow very low
The only thing I can think of is a plugged cabin filter, If all the controls are set to maximum airflow. Has the heater ever been worked on before? If so maybe something was not put back together correctly.
very good video friend how much does a job change that piece
I would quote a couple hours plus parts.
Thank you very informative
Glad it helped you
This job with part at the shop is about 350-400. Nissan as others nowadays cars are complicated. Better give it to the shop boys.

It's normal right hand thread just tight. First law of mechanics: right to tight, left to loosen.

No edit ere. I intended to write, 'removes much more stuff than I did'.
I didnt see you remove the resistor..maybe i miss it, but is it located right behind where you grabbed the cabin air filter out?
No I never removed the resistor
If I attempt to do this will the car drive fine with the codes? And will I be able to drive the car to a shop to clear the codes?

How do you undo the hood release cable? I can't figure it out.

@SarahPoulin oh I'm sorry I don't remember specifically how it is removed from the handle.
I literal hit the dash to get it working earlier, now it's out lol
Yes thats likely worn brushes but eventually that won't work anymore
Thanks for the video. Now my ABS and Traction lights are On and brakes pressed. Car does not move. What can it be? Thanks
I also had to remove the Clevis.
Sounds like the brake pedal is not returning properly. Check if the pushrod to tge brake pedal is installed correctly and if tge brake light switch is stopping the brake pedal from returning correctly.
Very detailed, thank you

Did you plug in all the connectors you disconnected? How about the connectors on the bcm above the gas pedal.
