REAR AIRCONDITION/HEATER FAN

1993 - 1998 Nissan Quest

HELLO,
My '97 quest rear fan stops working suddenly while the front fan still works perfectly. Have checked everything from fuses, fan motor, to switches, etc., according to hynes repair book manual. The only one that i haven't checked so far is the fan relay, which i cannot locate at all.
Does anybody knows where is it suppossed to be located ? I located one fan relay in the engine fuse box, but that is for the radiator fan relay. Also i read somewhere that there is an onboard compartment air filter somewhere around the glove compartment box .Have anyone replaced theirs, and where is it located exactly.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work,
james

Help~~~~~~~

Hi! James,

Did you fix it just by re-solding the connector as Steve Cutchen's web page says?
I am experiencing the same issue with my 95 Quest now.
Thank you!

We had a '95 Villager...

that had the same thing happen. I took it into the dealer. I happened to walk around back and the mechanic was working on it. I asked How's it going?" He replied that the $400 part was the problem. He knew this because he said he tested it by swapping a wire on the board and the fan worked. I asked "Why not leave the wire where you've put it?" He said he shouldn't, but he would show me how to do it. He wasn't sure if it would fix all the problems (it did) and that I shouldn't tell anyone that he had told me.

Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly which wire it was, but maybe you could find an honest (lol) mechanic to help you.

The problem is most likely

The problem is most likely with the relay for the rear blower. The root of the problem is a bad solder connection between the relay and the circuit board that holds it. The circuit board is a part of the main HVAC controls in the front, not the rear controls. This can be fixed by repairing the solder connection or you can replace the HVAC control module for around $400.
