How to Install a Blower Resister on the 2005 Nissan Armada

The blower motor resistor on a 2005 Nissan Armada is the component that allows the blower fan to operate at varying speeds dependent upon driver preference. It accomplishes this by electronically regulating the current to the blower motor in conjunction with the fan speed setting switch. A faulty or failing blower motor resister may only allow the fan to operate on one or two setting, or certain settings may not function. The blower motor resistor is located underneath the dashboard, inside the blower motor assembly on the passenger side of the vehicle.

3

Disconnect the blower motor resistors electrical connector. It has multiple colored wires attached to it and is in the center section of the blower motor assembly.

4

Remove the two screws holding the blower motor resistor in place with a metric nut driver and remove the blower motor resistor.

Installation

5
