Just head down to your local friendly Nissan or Infiniti dealer. No, you can't "service or clean these things", the problem with the resistor is that one of the paths built into the board actually breaks. Well, maybe with a soldering iron and some solder you could put it back together but I don't know how well or how long that'd work. At about $18 for the part, it's not a horrendous investment. My dad is an electronics tech (he fixes the PCBs used in construction lasers for a living) and he elected to spend the $18 rather than mess with the part.

When you pull out the old one, just check that continuity exists between each of the four channels. If it does, the part is fine.

Cheers for that, the idea of repairing comes from being part cheapskate and part fiddler You're right tho, at that price its not worth it .. will sort it today and let you know if it cures the problem ...

Robbing gypos .....

28 pounds plus the vat, although they do have on in stock! The service receptionist even knew what i was on about after i said the model of car and resister, so this must indeed be a common failure. Can't get the part from an automotive stockist, in the UK it's a dealer part only hence the price.

Damn i hate VAT ... and the fact that we pay in pounds what you pay in dollars ... common market my ass lol!

It works .. anyway, so once again thanks

Mine fan suffered the same fate - no air flow at all unless it was set to the top setting. But! it is possible to repair it!
in my case i took out the resistor card and used some solder to make sure the current could flow correctly. What had happened, you see, was that the areas of the card where the printed circuit was revealed to air had corroded and weren't providing a proper electrical connection. The solder restored this connection, leaving me feeling smug
