Question:

what is the ac blower motor resister for.?

ok i have a 95 nissan pickup and my ac went out the other day i can still feel cold coming out the vent the blower motor ant comming on i straight wired it 2 the battery and it works could my resister be bad does the resister have any thing to do wit the ground on the blower motor

Answer:

The resistor is used to control the speed of the blower motor. Half voltage,half speed, full voltage full speeed.
I THINK that it is right behind the blower motor under the dash. Follow the harness from the blower motor and it will lead you right to it. Hope that helps! Matt
Keep in mind even with a bad resistor you should ALWAYS have HI mode......because HI bypasses the resistor and supplies battery voltage to the blower. Unplug resistor and check for power from the fan speed switch if you don't see any action you need a switch or have a bad fuse.
