1999 Nissan Quest Fan Control blower resistor problem by 46ts

99 Nissan Quest w/ac 134K: Fan blower resister blows after 3 days replacement. I suspect it over heats from a short somewhere. Nissan dealership suggested could be something in the rear air controls or the second resistor for the rear (where is that?) The ac does not work, hot air does not reach the rear vents. Has anyone gone through the blower resistor problem and found faults causing the resistor to blow?

My fan has never hiccuped on my '99. I found this post with an Advanced Search (on the left) searching for "Fan blower resistor"

More searching would probably turn up some more hints for a fix.

Thanks for the info on the timing belt change.
What is you opinion...is the 3.3 an interference engine or not? this has been a question on this forum for years.

Got another question for you, STEVE. I remember some discussion a while back on a coolant leak somewhere on these vehicles. I tried the search but couldn't find anything. After I park my vehicle, I can smell antifreeze, and I have to top off the tank maybe every few months or so. Nothing on the ground, though. Mine's a 2001 Villager.

Yeah, some little hose on the top of the engine rots away. Mine's doing the same thing.
 
Let me search around and see if I can find a thread with more info and I'll try to edit this within the 30 minute window.
 
[edit] Ok, the rotten hose I keep thinking about is the BPT hose connected to the EGR and that'll flip the CEL on but doesn't cause a coolant smell.
 
These two posts talk about leaking coolant hoses and clamps (and the first one segues into timing belts, conveniently enough ).

What year Quest?
 
For my '99, the manual says:
 
The printed arrow on the belts should be pointing away from the engine. The belt should have 3 white timing marks on it. Each white timing mark will be aligned with the corresponding camshaft and crankshaft timing mark on the sprocket.
 
You'll have 40 teeth between the timing marks between the LF and RH camshaft sprockets and 43 teeth between the LH camshaft sprocket and the crankshaft timing sprocket.
 
Here's a pic.

You can also search for "Auto Repair Reference Center" in your state or city; many local public libraries subscribe to this database and will let their patrons access it for free. I can get to it online with my library card number. Other libraries offer access to Alldatadiy.com too.
 
They have complete repair info for most recent makes and model cars.
