Not wanting to hijack the thread but I have some actuator in the HVAC, that sometimes does not work.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 3:00 pmR51 Pathies are easy, 3 screws for the blower and it's right behind the glove box. The VBC is right there with it. Frontiers and Xterras use the same setup.
So Nissan dealer only?VStar650CL wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 6:40 pmThat isn't good, the R51's Mix Door Servo (or driver's mix if your system is Auto) is mounted on top of the HVAC housing and requires removing the dashpad to replace.
Glad to hear it had a good outcome for you!!Wahooo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 8:21 pmThis ones a wrap.
Pull the trim in the front corner, 3X5.5mm screws, and the blower drops right into your hand.
Couldn't have been any easier.
It didn't really look terrible or seem to be too tight but the problem did occur when it was really cold and it was pretty warm in the garage.
I'll leave for work Tuesday at a crisp 2° so we'll see if we got it.
Thanks for everyone's input.
So far I believe when I leave it on the exact setting for "mode" and it works as long as I dont mess with it it wont turn off.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 6:57 amThe dashpad isn't rocket science, just a lot of work, and the actuator is two phillips head screws once you get at it. On an older ride the real issue is due care, because all that dash plastic gets brittle. Use someone who's trustworthy and circumspect, and be forgiving if something cracks anyway. I'm about as circumspect as they come, but sometimes stuff just gives up instead of popping loose. On a high-end model with a lot of disconnecting to do, we get 10 hours. It doesn't necessarily take that long if everything goes well, but like I said, there's a good chance of unpredictable difficulties that can make it take much longer than it should.
