How to Change Blower Motor / Resistor on 2000-2003 5thgen Nissan Maxima

Community Member Credit: maximaboy12

Hey Guys so my blower would make a lil rubbing noise so I went under there and cleaned it out. And might as well make a write up for all the n00bies out there. I saw a lot of pics for the 4th gen but not 5th so might as well do this.

1. Go ahead and open the glove box and start removing these bolts.

2. These bolts are in the foot well.

3. Now just give a gentle pull and the glove box should give way you will see two harnesses. Remove them. One is the light. It would be smarter to just move the clips on the yellow one. DONT UNPLUG THE YELLOW HARNESS THAT IS YOUR AIRBAG.

eBay 14″ Generic Universal Puller Radiator Fans 90W (Mishimoto Alternative) $32 Bucks for 2 Fans

Community Member Credit: Eddy

The fans on my 6thgen Maxima went bad, so I decided to try out these eBay ones before buying a more expensive brand again. At this price, I figured I could repurpose them for something else in the event my car was not cooling properly. I previously had a SPAL fan where the motor seized. To my surprise, these actually ended up working great with no issues. While a shroud is recommended, I don’t have one and my car didn’t have any issues with cooling during the summer. I have an external water temp gauge and temps are as they normally should be.

So if you’re looking for a Mishimoto alternative or OEM stock fan replacement, you can give these a try. And quite honestly, I saw no difference between these and a set a Mishimoto fans that I have on another car. I have these wired up directly to stock harness used a 4thgen Maxima pigtail. No external relay was required for these.

Haltech Elite Plug-n-Play Harness for Nissan Maxima from turbokits.com (Important Info)

Community Member Credit: Jose Gutierrez / Ruben Corga

While this is advertised as Plug-n-Play, it’s really not. You have to run some extra shielded wires for two signals as it does not come with with the crank and cam signal wires. This has happened to about 4 maxima owners who purchased this harness. Overall, the harness does work but it’s not straight plug-n-play and questionable if its worth $500. Car may or may not run without these wires so please keep this in mind.

Order Link: https://turbokits.com/Nissan/Maxima/Engine_Management/

Product Info:

These are harnesses for the use of Haltech’s Elite 2500 units.

  • The Elite has full control of fuel and ignition timing.
  • Choose your specific vehicle in the dropdown menu and then select the Elite unit you wish to use.
  • Eight cylinder engines are best suited to the Elite 2500 or 2000 to retain sequential injection and direct fire ignition.
  • Six cylinder engines are best suited to the Elite 2500, 2000, or 750 to retain sequential injection and direct fire ignition.
  • Four cylinder engines can be operated with any of the available Elite units and still retain sequential injection and direct fire ignition.
  • ONLY the Elite 1500 and 2500 have drive by wire throttle control!
  • In some instances, the factory ECU remains in place to control dash gauges, drive-by-wire throttle systems, and other amenities.
  • Fully plug and play. Easy to install. Easy to uninstall.
  • Boomslang fabricates the sub-harnesses. No cores needed.
  • Saves time, hard-wiring costs, and your factory wire harness.
