I can't be sure about the maxima but on the Almera the resistor is at the end of the blower motor,2 selftapping screws hold it in place. When you withdraw it it's like a credit card, with parallel copper strips which have resistors in them of poor quality, so they overheat. If like me you have an old car worth very little, you can mend the strips by cleaning back to the copper (I think they have an insulating coating) and bridge any hole you see by soldering a thin copper wire across it. There's no guarantee this will work perfectly but it's better trying than paying £40 for a new resistor board ! It has to be a fine wire and your repair has to be neat, there isn't anough clearance for a thick wire or big blobs of solder ! I now avoid position 3 as it's the one most likely to overheat. If it still doesn't work and you don't want to buy a new board you could try getting one from a scrap yard but go for the latest year possible of your Nissan model, as burnt-out resistor boards are common with older Nissans- the older it is the bigger the risk of it being already burnt out. If there are signs of overheating (holes in the copper strips or sooty spots), don't buy the board, tell them it's no good.

How you change the blower motor resistor in Nissan maxima 2002?

To change the blower motor resistor in a 2002 Nissan Maxima, locate the blower motor resistor under the glove compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle. There is a clip that is depressed and then the resistor will slide out. Remove both ends of the resistor and then replace with the new resistor.

On the 2002 Nissan Maxima when the blower resistor is bad does it make a vibrating noise?

A bad blower resistor will not make a vibrating noise by itself. Carefully remove the blower resistor (under the dash at the passenger side right foot area.) check to see that it is not hitting the fan. PS a bad blower resistor usually means that the blower will only operate at high speed. Usually a small fusible link on the resistor ceramic opens. Can be replaced with a small link of unmelted solder.

Non stop blower motor 92 maxima have searched the postings and found several similar reports but no solution you have a 92 maxima with auto climate control the blower fan runs at high speed and high?

Replace your blower motor resistor Resistor located under dash on passenger side in screwed into blower housing. May be able to be repaired. Requires soldering a small piece of "unmelted solder" across where the old fusible link was. look carefully at resistor. Or else just replace. Buy new. Junkyard resistor likely to be as bad as yours.
