Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the blower motor resistor in this 2003 Nissan Frontier. Most often, the symptoms of a bad blower motor resistor are that your fan will not work on all the speeds: either high or low or maybe none. In order to replace this you will need a Phillips head screwdriver as well as a new blower motor resistor from 1A Auto.

Locate the blower motor resistor underneath the glove box. You see the connector and two Phillips head screws which hold it in place. Press the connector, pull it down and push it out of the way. Then with your Phillips head screwdriver, remove the two screws.

Here you see the old part and the new part from 1A Auto. They're identical and it's a direct replacement fit. Line up your new resistor with the slot. Press it in. Begin reinstalling your two Phillips head screws and then you can plug your connector back in.
