Help fix my heater?


Recommended Posts

So my heater doesn't work and its getting to be pretty cold up in Washington so I kinda need it. When I turn it on I can hear air blowing but it doesn't come through any vents and it isn't warm. Its not cold either. I'm not sure what to look for when trying to fix it. Can anyone help? Much appreciated!

Nissan calls both heating and cooling of the air in the cabin "air conditioning".  The Air Conditioning chapter of the FSM describes all of the odd pieces that have to work right, like the magnet valves (solenoids) and the vacuum reservoir (the big white bottle).  Pretty common to lose the vacuum line to the bottle and get no heat.

Mine does this sometimes. The stock vacuum lines are TINY, and get cooked in the engine bay over time. The PO in my car thought he was helping and replaced all the under the hood hoses, and then used a plastic 2 barbed connector to join the new hoses to the original at the firewall. Well that joiner is a little too big for the stock lines and they like to split right there and leak air. I literally just wrapped it in electrical tape and my heat works perfectly. Some day I'll find the proper adapter...
