Default 99 SE - blower fan runs at the slowest speed in all settings

Hi,

Since yesterday, the blower fan is running very slowly(probably @ setting 1 speed) at all settings. I searched and see it could be the resistor. But then I also read it is applicable only for manual control. For automatic control(which I have), it would be the fan control amplifier.

Can someone confirm if it is the fan control amplifier or the fan itself which I need to change? Also can you provide pointers to "how to" on them. Much appreciated. Thx.

It does sounds like the fan control amplifier. The price for the amp is around $75 and you probably can find the part on AutoZone or any other autoparts.

The instruction to replaced the amp are here: 2000-2003 Nissan Maxima Blower Motor Amplifier/Resistor Replacement Procedure | Nissanhelp.com

The instructions are for the 2000-2003 Maxima, but removing the glove box is the same, the only difference is that the Amp is in front instead of of the bottom of the blower motor.

Thanks for your response. Would bad relay cause this issue? Just wanted to check.

Thanks. Replacing the fan control amp worked. But had to buy it from the dealer.

I'm having a similar issue with my 99 maxima, I replaced the resistor card and blower motor and when I turn the fan speed from 1 to 4 you can hear the fan spinning up but hardly nothing comes out of the vents. I was wondering if it could be the actual HVAC controls or a fuse of some kind? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
