OEM Nissan Nissan Versa Blower Motors

What is a Blower Motor?

The one in your Nissan Versa is basically a fan assembly with either a brushed or brushless DC motor. Most subcompact cars like yours have one (versus two in larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks), and in newer models, the motor is usually brushless; older models, on the other hand, often have brushed motors. You can find it under the dashboard on the passenger side, most of the time, though some cars locate them in the engine compartment, on the fender. Many parts besides the fan and power source themselves make one up, too: usually, they include a heater core, housing cover, hose, tube seal, plenum, and gasket, with some variations.

What Does a Blower Motor Do for a Versa?

It pushes heated or cooled air through the vents on the dashboard. How that works is just as straightforward: you adjust the fan speed, a signal gets sent through a resistor to the motor, the motor spins, the fan assembly rotates, and depending on your climate control system's settings, air passes through the heater core or AC evaporator.

What are the Signs of Blower Motor Failure?

One: impeded airflow. Another: only the highest fan speed works for moving that limited air. You may also notice that the fuses for the motor -- the one in the interior fuse block and the one under the hood -- are blown, or that the resistor module and connections are burnt or corroded. Other symptoms include bad bearings (resulting in a wobbling assembly or a stuck motor), worn brushes (in the case of brush-type motors), loose connectors, clogged moving parts, and broken fan blades. You may even figure out that you've got a bad relay or speed control module, not to mention hear loud squeaks or rattling noises.

When Do You Replace a Blower Motor?

Those in Nissan Versa models should last the car's entire lifetime. However, be sure to inspect yours every five years or so, and change it if needed. If you do end up having to get a new one, get the genuine article.

Why Buy a Genuine OEM Blower Motor for a Nissan Versa?

Nissan manufactures them compatible with its subcompact sedans specifically. That compatibility guarantee, aftermarket brands won't always give you, even if one claims its blower motors work like manufacturer replacements.
